I’ve only recently retired so I have been making my plans for retirement and this stroke of luck will make retirement a lot easier. I look forward to sharing this with all of these special people (his wife and family)”.
The other winning tickets were sold at the Kilmartin N6 Service Station on the Dublin Road, Athlone, Co Westmeath and in the Mace store in Ferns in Enniscorthy, Co Wexford. 
Larry Kiernan of Newsround said they were delighted to have sold a winner. 
"We have no idea who the winner is or what time the ticket was sold. The National Lottery just rang us on Monday morning to tell us we had sold one of the winning tickets," he said.
