A family from Birr, Co. Offaly who have been playing Lotto together for seven years decided to do something different this month - they bought their first EuroMillions ticket - and won half a million euro.
The syndicate of five were accompanied by extended family as they collected their €500,000 cheque at National Lottery offices today.
Today’s lucky winners will split their prize equally, each taking home a nice even €100,000 each.
