Offaly couple collect 350000 winnings

A lucky Offaly couple picked up their Lotto Plus 1 top prize of €350,000 in National Lottery offices on Friday.

The couple won the prize in the draw on Saturday, June 27. “I checked my ticket online,” said one half of the happy couple. “I couldn’t believe my eyes. All six numbers matched. I must’ve rechecked it a hundred times such was my disbelief.”

The pair, who wish to keep the win private, bought their lucky €4 Quick Pick ticket in Treacy’s Service Station on Upper Main Street in Portarlington.

They plan to use the windfall to pay some bills as well as treating themselves to a nice holiday.
