A lucky Carlow mum collected her cheque for €129,511 at Lotto HQ today - and is looking forward to changing the lives of her family.
There were no Monday morning blues after she won the Lotto Match 5 + Bonus prize in last Wednesday’s draw.
The Carlow native discovered her massive win on the night and admitted that she has struggled to contain her excitement since.
She said: “I still can’t believe it.
“I haven’t slept a wink of sleep since Wednesday with all of the excitement.”
She bought her golden Quick Pick ticket at Corrigan’s Service Station on the Borris Road in Bagnalstown.
She added: “It may not be a multi-million euro jackpot but this prize will certainly change the lives of my family – it’s a massive boost for us all.
“I’ve had a few days to take it all in and we’ve decided to pay off some of our mortgage and do some home renovations but the rest of the money will be spent wisely on the children to ensure that they have a good education in the next couple of years.”
