The sister of €130 million lotto winner Frances Connolly says her wealthy sibling would have loved to buy her late mum a holiday home in Bundoran.

Ann Floyd said she hasn’t asked for a penny of her sister’s new-found wealth but is delighted for Frances.

Ann, who lives in Spamount on the border between Tyrone and Donegal said her sister may have got her luck from her mum.

She revealed “Mummy loved going on holidays to Bundoran in Donegal, and to play the slot machines.

“She got a great thrill of seeing is she would win.

“I think if she had been here now, Frances would have to get her an apartment down by the sea and keep supplying the coins for Mammy – and she would too, that’s the kind of person Frances is.

“Frances is so generous and has always been. If Frances only had a tenner and you said you needed a fiver, she’d give it to you and do without it herself. That’s the kind of woman she is.”

Ann and her hubby Patrick say they have made out a list of 50 people whim they will give some money to after their huge windfall last week.
