A Cork woman has collected a cheque from Lotto HQ for half a million Euro in the Euromillions Plus draw.
The ticket for the draw on February 24th was purchased at SuperValu on Main Street in Charleville, and collected her cheque at Lottery HQ yesterday.
The winner, who wishes to remain private, says the bulk of the money will go to paying off her mortgage.
“This money will be absolutely life-changing for my family. Although it’s been almost two months since the win, it still doesn’t feel real that we’ve won it. I’m sure that once I can see the money in my bank account, it’ll feel like it’s actually real life. We’ve had an exciting few weeks at home and I have no shortage of suggestions for how to spend the money. We are going to be incredibly sensible and spend the bulk of the money paying off the mortgage and some other loans. I’ve had my eye on a new car for some time so I’m looking forward to getting behind the wheel of something fancy."
“Before we do anything though, I’ve promised the family a couple of weeks holiday in the sun so we’re going to take a couple of weeks and properly enjoy this win”, she said.
