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.”
