Lotto luck as 5 players win over €500k in mega draw
Bergin’s in Clonmel FIVE Irish players each won more than €500,000 in Friday’s monster €177million Lotto draw.
Four lucky people took home €500,000 when their Plus numbers came up.
But one Cork punter became an instant millionaire after winning the one-off raffle.
The winning ticket was sold in Easons in the city’s Wilton Shopping Centre.
Manager Martina Walsh said: “Just last August we sold a winning ticket worth over €250,000 so you could definitely say we’re a lucky Lotto shop.”
Meanwhile, Ireland had four winners of the Plus top prize for the first time in Euromillions history.
It has been revealed all winners of the €500,000 prize bought their Quick Pick tickets on either Thursday or Friday.
Two of the winning stores were in Co Tipperary – Bergin’s Foodfair in Clonmel and Michael O’brien’s Spar in Borrisokane.
The other lucky outlets were John O’sullivan’s Spar in Ballymany Shopping Centre, Newbridge, Co Kildare and Walsh’s Daybreak Store at Cork Road, Waterford.
