Mighty €300k lotto win will make life comfortable says Offaly couple

A very happy couple from Offaly toasted their luck at National Lottery HQ today as they picked up their Lotto match 5 + bonus prize of €287,135 from the draw on Wednesday September 30.

Had the pair won the prize just a couple of weeks ago, they’d have taken home €25,000. Thanks to the enhancements introduced as part of Bigger Better Lotto their prize is more than 11 times greater, reaching a massive €287,135.

“It’s mighty,” said one of the winners. “We really can’t believe this has happened to us. The amount is perfect and will make life comfortable.”

The couple, who wish to keep the win private, plan to use the windfall to pay off their mortgage. They bought their lucky €5 Quick Pick ticket in Spar Express on Hill Street in Cloghan.
