Donegal has had its fair share of Lotto wins recently, but it wasn’t the county’s lucky day this time around, as Ireland’s newest multi-millionaires were revealed.
A large family syndicate from Naul in Dublin has come forward to claim Tuesday’s massive €175.4m EuroMillions jackpot.
It was revealed today that six sisters will share the winnings. The lucky ticket was sold at Reilly’s Daybreak in Naul.
A family spokesperson, who is married to one of the syndicate, said: “This is unbelievable. It will take us some time to get our heads around this win and to organise ourselves.”
The win has been described as a ‘dream come true’ for the close-knit clan, who are mostly retired.
The family spokesperson added: “We know this is a huge story and there is great excitement over this win.
“We need time to let this news sink in and to prepare to collect our winnings. We are a normal family and we don’t want this to dramatically change our lives.”
The €175M jackpot represents the biggest ever lottery win on the island of Ireland.
