A public servant from South inner City Dublin won the top prize of €500,000 in last night's EuroMillions Plus draw.
She had bought a €6 Quick Pick in the Spar on Thomas Street, Dublin 8 yesterday, and claimed the prize today.
“I checked the numbers on Teletext last night and was very happy," she said as she collected her cheque at National Lottery offices.
"I plan to buy a house."
The winner wishes to remain anonymous.
This is the second top prize to be claimed today, with a total of €850,000 paid out to lucky National Lottery game players.
This morning, John Foley (aged 77) from Williamstown, Co. Galway, his daughter Annette Keegan and son Timothy Foley picked up a cheque for €350,000, their Lotto Plus 1 top prize win from last Wednesday’s Lotto Plus 1 draw.
When asked how he plans to enjoy his winnings, John said: “Live long enough to spend it!”
