'I checked about 50 times that I didn’t make a mistake or that the dates were incorrect'

The Munster woman only discovered she'd become a millionaire when her internet came back after an all-day outage late last Sunday.

“That prompted me to check the ticket and I was gobsmacked when I saw the numbers match one of the panels on the ticket."I said to my husband ‘I think we won the Lotto’ and he didn’t even look up from the newspaper he was reading. Finally, he checked the ticket and low and behold, we haven’t had a wink of sleep since!"

She revealed that she and her family have no immediate plans for their windfall but will clear off their mortgage. She purchased her winning Lotto Quick Pick ticket at the Centra store on the Main Street, Innishannon, Co Cork.
