A Carlow service station has been struck by Lotto lightning twice in just a week.
The filling station in Tullow toasted their second big win in just a few days after selling the golden ticket for last night’s EuroMillions Plus top prize of €500,000.
Just days ago, they sold a National Lottery scratch card prize worth €200,000.
Owner of the winning O’Tooles’s service station Joe O’Toole spoke of his delight at selling two National Lottery tickets worth a combined €700,000 within a matter of days.
He said: “We’re just absolutely flabbergasted in the shop and the excitement in the town is absolutely indescribable!
“Only yesterday, I was speaking to the National Lottery about the winning scratch card worth €200,000 which was sold recently and late last night, I got another phone call from the National Lottery to confirm this latest win.
“I’m still in a state of disbelief, I mean, what are the chances of selling two top prize winning National Lottery tickets in a small country store within a matter of days? It’s just brilliant.”
Mr O’Toole plans to celebrate with his staff and the local community and has urged his regular customers to check their tickets.
