A Donegal man is planning his dream holiday after picking up a cheque worth €500,000 at National Lottery HQ!
He scooped the top prize in the EuroMillions Plus draw on 10th March after purchasing his ticket at Harkins Gala on the Donegal Road in Ballybofey.
The man is remaining anonymous, but revealed he’s managed to stay calm and collected ever since finding out about the win.
He said: “My wife was the first person to find out, and I think my reaction took her by surprise. I am definitely feeling the excitement more sitting here, there’s no denying that this is real now!”
While he hasn’t marked the win with a celebration just yet, plans are already forming. “A holiday of a lifetime is the one thing that we keep going back to, so I think that’ll be the first thing we do. Making memories is key! After that, there’s a list of home renovations that we plan to do.”
