Offaly winner scoops big windfall from lotto punt

A County Offaly punter is celebrating a huge cash haul this week following a flutter on some lucky Lotto numbers that paid off in spectacular style.

The anonymous customer struck two bets in a BoyleSports shop in the county, picking four numbers to be drawn in Wednesday afternoon’s Daily Millions draw.

They faced odds of 3,750/1 for numbers 4, 8, 9 and 11 to be drawn from the main six numbers, but also invested €10 on the same four to be drawn with the bonus ball as a backup at 1,600/1.

But all four rolled out within the main six, meaning both bets landed in the blink of an eye.

With mammoth returns of €16,010 and €11,253 from the two wagers, the punter walked away richer to the tune of €27,263.

Lawrence Lyons, Spokesperson for BoyleSports commented: “We offer huge congratulations to our customer in Offaly who made light work of the massive odds after the numbers fell in their favour. Their ambitious thinking paid off spectacularly and we hope they enjoy every cent of their €27,263.”
