It was only then that I saw the email about a win, so I checked my account and immediately turned to my husband and sheepishly said \u2018I think I\u2019ve won the Lotto\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He definitely didn\u2019t believe me so didn\u2019t even look away from the television as he told me that I couldn\u2019t have! When he finally realised I wasn\u2019t joking, the two of us were totally in shock. It was around midnight at this point, and I even rang my mother to give her the news \u2013 I think the entire family were awake until around 3am in total disbelief.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Louth winner has already made a very particular first purchase with the winnings and has big plans for what to do next: &#8220;The first thing I did was buy VIP tickets to Westlife! I am counting down the days until that one and then my next dream is a holiday home in Ireland. I still can\u2019t believe this has happened, but I am so excited to celebrate with my family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/onic-player\/id6747436925?ppid=62f5d1bc-976b-45a1-a0cb-ee4acf856ae1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/68da98f645855.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"All LMFM News The lucky Lotto player scooped the jackpot on October 18th The online Lotto player in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":91504,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[72,4263,4262,61,60,3323,4259,4258,4265,4266,4264,4260,4261],"class_list":["post-189044","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-business","tag-drogheda-radio","tag-dundalk-radio","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-job-search","tag-lm-fm","tag-lmfm","tag-lmfm-breakfast-show","tag-lmfm-late-lunch","tag-lmfm-podcast","tag-louth-radio","tag-meath-radio"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/189044","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=189044"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/189044\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/91504"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=189044"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=189044"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=189044"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
