A Lotto winner is deciding whether he wants a Deere or a bull after scooping a cool €238,673 Lotto prize.
Despite the luck, the Longford farmer was just one number short of sharing €4 million Lotto jackpot - but he isn't thinking about what could have been.
This lucky winner was in fine form as he sat alongside family members at National Lottery HQ in Dublin collecting his prize after matching five numbers and the bonus on last Saturday’s Lotto draw (June 8).
He said: “Before this, I had been considering getting a new tractor and I was also thinking of getting a bull.
“I suppose now I can take my time to make up my mind, and sure I may decide to get both!”
He bought his ticket at O’Brien’s Corner House, Lanesboro Road in Co Longford.
He added: “I am absolutely delighted to have won this prize.
"It will sure be a big bit of comfort for me. Farming of course is a tough industry so it’s nice to have the extra money.
“My brother sent me a message that he heard that there had been a win in Lanesboro. I went to my local shop, checked the ticket and it said I was a winner.”
