A Dublin punter is thanking their lucky stars this weekend after a run of Lotto numbers struck gold and landed them just short of €80,000.
The anonymous punter placed a wager in a BoyleSports shop in the capital for last night's EuroMillions Plus draw and picked out a €2 yankee bet on four numbers to land.
They opted for numbers 6, 11, 18 and 21 and only needed two of them to come out to bag themselves a profit.
But things got even better than that as all four rolled out and triggered payouts on a total of 11 bets, including one which overcame odds of 33,000/1 for all four numbers.
When all the winnings were tallied it up, it made for a stunning windfall of €79,222 all from a €22 investment.
BoyleSports' betting guru Lawrence Lyons said: "We took a bit of a hammering on our Lotto markets on Friday, but we have to send huge congratulations to our Dublin customer whose small series of bets paid off in style.
"They took a shot at the odds and it’s turned into a bit of a life-changer so fair play to them for aiming big."
