€2.4m Lotto man ‘positive’ he would be a millionaire

IRELAND’S latest Lotto winner has revealed positive thinking helped him claim a €2.4million jackpot. The man in his 40s won the prize after buying a Lotto Quick Pick ticket at the Applegreen Round Tower Service Station in Corduff, Lusk, Co Dublin. The winning numbers for Wednesday’s draw were 7, 19, 20, 32, 34, and 43 with the bonus 45. He said: “I can honestly say I have visualised this moment for 15 years. “I am in shock and struggling to process all of this but I just knew sooner or later that I would win.” The new millionaire revealed he is a huge fan of bestselling book The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, and explained how it helped him get into a positive mindset. He said: “I listen to the audiobook every morning. I believe if you can imagine something you can do in your head then you can do it in real life. “Positive thinking is part of my philosophy in life – even in my outlook in playing the Lotto. “I knew every time I won a small amount, or even won nothing, I was getting closer to the moment when I would win.” National Lottery chief, Dermot Griffin added: “This could well be the most positive person we’ve ever had sitting in the winner’s room.”
