Lotto winners kept winning €2m ticket in eyelash case

A FAMILY who won a €2million Lotto jackpot on holiday kept their winning ticket in the mother’s fake eyelash case.

They claimed their prize yesterday after buying their ticket on the day of the June 16 draw while holidaying in Kilmore Quay, Co. Wexford.

The mother said: ‘The moment we found out about the win was just a truly magical and an indescribable experience.

‘We had heard about the Lotto win in the town, but we still weren’t convinced it could be us.’

They checked their numbers online and, the mother said: ‘My husband stopped me as I entered the last one and said, “Be careful, the next number could change your life”. He sounded very profound.’

The family, from Wexford, said they will be sharing the money with their families and community causes.

‘It’s been a very surreal three weeks as we come to terms with the win.

‘We have told some very close family members but we will be keeping our win private,’ the lucky mother said.

‘The €2million won’t change us, but it will allow us to make a difference to our own lives while we also have some plans to discreetly help those in our community.’

They bought the winning ticket at Brady’s Mace Store in Kilmore Quay.
