Two people from Dublin have collected their cheque for €8.1 million at Lotto headquarters. The pair won the prize which has been rolling over since November, and includes a €1 million top-up added at Christmas.
The winners wish to remain anonymous. They bought their lucky €4 quick pick in Tesco at Wicklow Shopping Centre on the day of the draw.
The syndicate of two are said to still be considering plans for their new fortune.
"We can't believe our luck" smiled one of the happy winners over a glass of celebratory champagne. "What a way to kick off the New Year!".
Tesco in Wicklow is proving to be a lucky store. Last September they sold a EuroMillions Match 5 + 1 Lucky Star winning ticket, worth €272,629.
The luck is in with Tesco in Mullingar too. They sold the €1 million top prize winning ticket in the Christmas Millionaire Raffle draw on New Year's Eve.
The winner(s) has yet to claim that prize.
