€500k Euromillions win for lucky couple

A lucky couple visited the National Lottery headquarters today to collect a cheque for a whopping €500,000, after they hit the top prize on the EuroMillions Plus draw on Friday, 11th November.

The winning ticket was bought at the shop at Tara na Rí pub, Garlow Cross, Navan.

The husband and wife, who wish to remain private, bought their normal play ticket at the shop.

'I’m going to bring him up to do some of my Christmas shopping in Brown Thomas as soon as we lodge the cheque,' smirked the winning wife.

With Christmas approaching, the married couple said the money would go a long way to making sure they have the perfect Christmas.

'We’re going straight to the bank to pay off our mortgage. We have two young children so we will be putting money aside for them. We will take some time away and enjoy the win with the whole family,' added the delighted couple.
