A Waterford player couldn’t stop smiling for hours after discovering his lucky EuroMillions prize worth over €400,000, the National Lottery reported on Wednesday.
The Waterford man recently claimed his EuroMillions match five and one lucky star prize worth €405,711. The winning ticket was purchased for the October 31 draw from Phelan’s Centra in Kilmacthomas, Co Waterford, which has a lotto account under the name of Mulhearns Foodstore.
Speaking about his incredible win, the lucky winner said: “I heard the news breaking the following day. But after leaving the ticket in my car over the weekend, I didn’t check it until Sunday evening.
“I had to scan the ticket three times to believe what I was seeing – ‘you’ve won big.’ I couldn’t stop smiling for hours. I was so delighted.” Now, he’s planning a Christmas celebration to remember.
Players are reminded that tickets can be purchased in-store, through the National Lottery app or at lottery.ie ahead of the 7.45pm cut-off time for sales in the evening.
