EuroMillions-winning family reveal how they will spend £208m jackpot
EuroMillions winners hid £208m prize ticket in an unusual place
- An Irish family syndicate has claimed a staggering €250 million (£208 million) EuroMillions jackpot, making them the largest Irish winners of the lottery.
- The winning ticket was purchased by an anonymous syndicate member at Clifford’s Centra in Shandon Street, Cork city, after the jackpot reached its maximum on 6 June.
- The winner discovered the life-changing win while watching the RTE evening news and checking their ticket on the National Lottery app, leading to initial disbelief and shock.
- Before handing it over, the family kept the golden ticket securely tucked beneath folded laundry in their bedroom, and have since sought legal and financial advice.
- The family plans to use the winnings for a family holiday, purchasing holiday homes and homes for their children, supporting wider family and charities, while intending to remain grounded and stay in Ireland.
