New homes are on the horizon for two syndicates who picked up a collective €2million at Lotto HQ on Friday.
A five-person work syndicate from Dublin were quick off the mark to collect their winnings - after only finding out they'd won on Thursday night.
A syndicate spokesperson said: "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 colleagues purchased their Lotto Plus 1 winning ticket at Texaco Spar Express on Crumlin Road for the draw on Wednesday.

Another small syndicate from Tipperary also told National Lottery bosses about their desire to buy new homes.
One member added: "We’re in no rush – we know the money isn’t going anywhere so we’re all just going to take our time to make our own plans for how to spend our winnings.”
They also claimed the Lotto Plus 1 top prize of €1million after buying their ticket at the Applegreen store in Moangarrif, Clonmel in Co Tipperary for the May 8 draw.
