Kerry Woman Claims €500,000 EuroMillions Plus Prize From Cork Ticket After Near-Loss

The winner learned of the windfall through the lottery app after an impulse purchase at Con’s Shop in Cork.

Overview

  • The €500,000 prize was claimed this week at National Lottery headquarters in Dublin by a woman from Kerry.
  • The winning EuroMillions Plus ticket was bought on January 27 at Con’s Shop on the northside of Cork.
  • She discovered the win after scanning the ticket in the National Lottery app, which prompted her to contact the Lottery.
  • Her partner hid the ticket so well he had to pull a cupboard apart to find it before the pair moved it to a safer spot.
  • The couple plan to travel to Asia, as coverage also notes a Dublin man claimed €500,000 from the same draw and another recent Cork ticket won €100,000, with the Lottery advising secure ticket storage.
