Was it you?

The National Lottery has confirmed that the lucky winner of the €2,469,871 back in May has finally come forward to claim the life-changing amount of money.

The winner has, however, chosen to remain anonymous (we don’t blame them).

The ticket had been purchased at O’Connell’s Foodstore in Myrtleville on a busy weekend with plenty of visitors to the seaside town, thanks to the sunny weather.

While the victor will remain anonymous, the National Lottery has published a quote by them, which said: ““I checked my ticket that night after the draw and as I went through the draw results, I just couldn’t believe that every number was matching the ones printed on my ticket.

“By the time I got through the results, I was definitely feeling overwhelmed. It certainly wasn’t easy getting to sleep that night and the next day was filled with a happy mix of shock and delight.

“I still can’t quite believe my luck. It really is still the best news – every time I hear the National Lottery ad, I can’t believe that I’m now one of those winners!

“I’m going to take my time for now and let the news properly sink in before I decide what to do.”
