The delighted woman bought her scratch card at Finlay’s Topaz Station in Monasterevin in Co Kildare.
She sent her daughter down to the shop to double check the ticket, as she was in disbelief that she had just scratched her way to €75,000.
She added: "I hardly ever buy a scratch card, maybe one every couple of months as a bit of fun so we were completely flabbergasted when we seen the €75,000 symbol appear on the scratch card.
"I really couldn’t believe that something like this would happen to us so just to make sure, I sent my adult daughter down to the shop to have it checked properly. S
"She wasn’t gone long until she burst through the front door screaming that we’d won the €75,000, it was just incredible."
Wednesday's Lotto jackpot is heading towards an estimated €2.5million.
