Cork Lotto Winner

This comes after the National Lottery revealed a Cork woman as the THIRD big winner of the new EuroDreams game in Ireland.

The winning ticket is worth €2,000 per month for five years.

The Cork native came forward to claim the prize making the win official.

A lucky punter was left celebrating after scooping the major prize in the Thursday May 30th EuroDreams draw.

The National Lottery had previously revealed that the winning ticket was sold at O’Reilly’s Garage on the Clonakilty Road in Bandon, Co Cork.

Winning plans

And the lucky Cork winner shared her excitement over the huge prize win.

She said: “Well I’m a regular player of the Lotto, but when I went up to the counter in the shop, I saw this new game called EuroDreams and it got me thinking about how I’ve always dreamed of owning a red convertible, driving somewhere with the sunglasses on and my hair blowing in the wind! So, I bought a ticket.

“When I checked it, I thought I’d only won €2.50. I asked a family member to double check it for me, and it was then we realised the true value of the ticket.

“She goes, mammy, you’re after winning €2,000 a month for 5 years! Ah well we cheered and roared; I was over the moon.”
