Meanwhile, a Louth Lotto player who scooped a life-changing \u20ac7,129,505 jackpot in the October 18 draw has collected their cheque at National Lottery headquarters.<\/p>\n
The online player, who has chosen to remain anonymous, said the scale of the win only became clear following a late-night scroll on their phone, with the entire family soon caught up in the shock of the discovery.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was watching television with my husband and there wasn\u2019t much happening during the programme, so I started scrolling through my phone,\u201d the winner said. \u201cThat\u2019s when I saw the email about a win. I checked my account and turned to my husband and said, \u2018I think I\u2019ve won the Lotto\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe didn\u2019t believe me at all and didn\u2019t even look away from the television. When he realised I wasn\u2019t joking, we were both in total shock.\u201d<\/p>\n
The win was discovered around midnight, and the news quickly spread among family members.<\/p>\n
\u201cI even rang my mother to tell her, and I think the entire family was awake until about 3am in complete disbelief,\u201d the winner said.<\/p>\n
The Louth jackpot winner has already treated herself to a special first purchase and is now making plans for the future.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe first thing I did was buy VIP tickets to see Westlife,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m counting down the days to that. My next dream is to buy a holiday home in Ireland. I still can\u2019t believe this has happened, but I\u2019m so excited to celebrate with my family.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The last EuroMillions jackpot won in Ireland was \u20ac250 million bagged last June, the largest ever sum won…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":192320,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[15763,42,1286,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":{"0":"post-192319","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-darragh-nolan","9":"tag-headlines","10":"tag-keith-kelly","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-top-news","13":"tag-top-stories","14":"tag-topnews","15":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192319","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=192319"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192319\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/192320"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=192319"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=192319"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=192319"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
