A lucky punter in the UK transformed €3.35 to more than €5million following a clever online bet.
Mr Logan, 50, placed the tiny stake on the Irish lotto jackpot via the Lottoland website and saw his numbers 10, 13, 23, 24, 25, 44 and the bonus ball 12 all roll out to net him his fortune.
He said: “I was at a local fete when I found out the news, it didn’t sink in for a while and I am still reeling from the shock – it feels very surreal but I’m hoping to retire with the money and enjoy my newfound wealth.
“I’ve told close family about the win, but I still feel like I’m living in a dream – I’ve won the odd £5 in the past but nothing like this.
“I can’t believe that a £3 bet has completely changed my life.”
Graham Ross, Country Manager for Lottoland in Ireland, added: “We are absolutely delighted to see a UK-based Lottoland customer scoop this life changing jackpot payout, the biggest ever Irish Lotto jackpot win recorded in the UK.
“It’s a great example of the borderless lottery betting experience that we offer, allowing customers to bet on over 30 exciting international jackpots weekly.”
