Limerick family syndicate claim €334,197 Lotto prize

A LIMERICK family syndicate are celebrating after they won €334,197 from the National Lottery. 

The family visited Lotto HQ to claim their Match 5 + Bonus prize worth €334,197 from the Saturday, November 4 draw.

The Lotto winners purchased their winning ticket at the Centra store in the Northtown Shopping Centre on the Ennis Road.

"We had no idea that there had been a big prize won that night, let alone that we were the ones who had won it! I was checking a few tickets the week after the draw and when I scanned this one, I got the You’ve Won Big message.

"At that stage, I still had no idea what we’d won so I called the claims team up immediately. I’m sure they knew I had no clue what we’d won when they spoke to me because I was in utter shock.

"I knew it must have been a big prize when I got the message but I never imagined that it was as big as it was.

"Even though we’re sitting here in the Winners Room now, the news still hasn’t sunk in.

"We’ve had a few weeks to think about it but it doesn’t feel real to be honest. As soon as it does, our first plan will be to organise a celebration over Christmas – it’s certainly not how we expected to be ending the year but it sure is a welcome surprise!"

So far this year, there have been 10 top prize winners of €1 million in the Daily Million game.

Daily Million draws take place twice a day, seven days a week at 2pm and 9pm and costs just €1 per play.
