A lucky Dublin work syndicate picked up a €1 million pot from Lotto HQ today.
The syndicate, who had bought the ticket in Crumlin, had only found out about the massive windfall the day before they picked it up.
After a sleepless night, the anonymous group revealed that their share of the winnings would go toward owning their own home.

They said: "It’s been an exciting few hours. We only discovered we won when one of the members sent a message to the WhatsApp group.
"None of us believed him of course, but as soon as we saw the ticket we were excited.
"We barely had a wink of sleep last night as we knew we were coming into National Lottery HQ in the morning!”
The winning Lotto Plus 1 ticket was sold on Wednesday, May 15 at the Texaco Spar Express on Crumlin Road, in Crumlin, Dublin 12.
They continued: "We all had to meet up to check the ticket just so we could believe it and when we pulled the numbers up and checked the ticket it was an incredible moment of celebration between us all, even though we tried to remain as quiet as possible!
"We’ll keep playing Lotto as a syndicate as it’s always a great topic of discussion between us all where we bond over if we have won or not. It’s just we never actually expected to win!”
