Man who scooped €1m in Daily Millions wants to by new set of tyres for old 'banger'
A man who was part of a family syndicate that scooped €1 million in the Daily Million draw on June 12, has said he wants to buy a new set of tyres for his old 'banger'. The family, who wish to remain private, bought their winning ticket in Dunnes Stores in Roscrea, Tipperary.
The father of the family assured that they wouldn't be getting carried away with their new fortune.
While picking up the cheque, he said: “As a family, we already have everything we need so I can’t see us going on a massive spending spree just because of the €1 million.
"The only plans we have is to pay off our mortgage which will be a massive help. We certainly won’t be splashing out on any new cars but I have promised myself four new tyres for the banger I’d driving around at the moment.”
A separate family syndicate in Cork city shared a €500,000 EuroMillions Plus prize which they scooped on June 14. The winning ticket was sold at Buckley's Kiosk at Merchant's Quay shopping centre on Patrick's Streeet.
