BREAKING: 'I am still in shock'- life-changing cash prizes won by three lucky winners

The National Lottery has shared the stories of three lottery winners who received 'life-changing prizes.'

• Player One: Prize €2,000 every month for 5 years

One EuroDreams player has won €2,000 per month for 5 years which he is using to pay off his mortgage.

The winning ticket was purchased at Tesco, Rathfarnham Shopping Centre, Butterfield Avenue, Dublin 14.

The EuroDreams winner said: “I had planned on buying a ticket for the Lotto draw, but I realised I left my wallet in the car. Rather than going back to the car, I had enough cash on me to buy a EuroDreams ticket instead – fortunate that I did! I am delighted with today’s win as it will mean I will be able to pay off a substantial amount of my mortgage over the next five years.”

Player 2: Cash prize of €179,677

A Dublin player claimed their prize of €179,677 after matching 5 numbers and one lucky star in the EuroMillions draw on Friday, 10th January.

The Quick Pick ticket was purchased on the day of the draw from Spar, Carpenterstown, Castleknock, Co. Dublin.

“I am still in shock and disbelief; the news is yet to sink in. I think half of the enjoyment will really come from talking about what I might do with the money. I do have a few plans, including an exotic holiday – somewhere off the beaten track and out of the ordinary. While a good portion will be gifted to family as well as to charity,” the lottery player said.

Player 3: Cash prize of €87,342

A Limerick woman claimed €87,342 on Saturday, 21st December in the main Lotto draw.

The woman purchased the ticket in Dunnes Stores, Harveys Quay, Henry Street, Co. Limerick.

Delighted, the Limerick woman said: “on the Sunday morning, I checked the tickets and saw I matched 5 numbers – I thought I had won a couple of thousand euros. Then I remembered to check the bonus number – it was then I realised I had won a lot more! My husband and I looked at each other and just laughed. It still hasn’t sunk in, but we have a few ideas on how to use the money – we have a list of renovations around the house that need to be done!”
