A lucky punter is feeling chipper after discovering her monster scratch card win - while in her local takeaway.
She has described how she is still coming to terms with the shock of landing a €200,000 prize on a National Lottery scratch card while she waited in line for chips in Kilkenny last Friday.
Collecting her cheque from Lotto HQ today, the Kilkenny woman said: “I’m still in a state of shock to be honest.
“I haven’t eaten or slept a wink since. I keep expecting somebody to tell me I’ve made a mistake and that I haven’t won anything.
“I popped into EuroSpar last Thursday to pick up a few groceries and of course the all-important scratch card.
“I went next door to the chipper to get the family something for their tea and while I was waiting for the food I started scratching away when all of a sudden, I’m looking at a €200,000 symbol on the scratch card.
“I nearly fainted there and then - my stomach has been somersaulting ever since!
“It’ a fantastic prize and it will mean the world for my family.
“We’re going to have a look at some nice properties in the city and hopefully we’ll have a new home to move into in the next few weeks.”
