One Irish person is waking up €1m richer this morning following last night's Euromillions millionaire raffle.
The winning ticket was sold in Easons, Wilton Shopping Centre, Cork.
Manager Martina Walsh this morning spoke of the excitement which has been sparked by the latest win in the store.
“It’s amazing news to know that one of our customers is waking up this morning as a millionaire! Just last August, we sold a winning EuroMillions ticket worth over €250,000 so you could definitely say we’re a lucky EuroMillions shop for our customers," she said.
"All of the staff here today are absolutely buzzing. It’s very much a local shop in the heart of Cork City so we hope that it’s a local winner and we’ll certainly be reminding everybody we see today to check their tickets.”
