Lucky Monaghan punter scoops €6,000 from €2 stake - beating odds of 3,000/1

A lucky Monaghan punter scooped more than €6,000 on a €2 stake on the 49s Boylesports Lotto draw on Saturday.

The customer hit big after placing an accumulator on numbers 6, 8, 11 and 24 in the draw at odds of 3,000/1.

Things were looking rosy when numbers 6, 11 and 24 were all among the first six numbers to be drawn.

And they ultimately hit the jackpot when the bonus ball was revealed as number 8, leaving the Monaghan man €6,002 richer.

Sarah Kinsella, spokesperson for BoyleSports said: “Well done to our customer in Monaghan on Saturday who managed to turn some loose change of €2 into a mouth-watering amount of €6,002 on the 49s Lotto draw.

"We wish our client the best of luck with their winnings and happy spending”.
