National: Syndicate in the east bags €1 million in top prize

A WEXFORD syndicate have experienced a life changing event after winning €1 million in Saturday’s Lotto Plus 1 draw.  

The Sunny South East winners scooped their prize after purchasing their winning ticket at Maxol Killeens in Wexford Town. 

 A member of the syndicate admitted that they are not regular players so got a huge surprise when they saw the numbers on Sunday morning. 

 “For people who don’t play the Lotto regularly, we got some surprise on Sunday morning! I was reading the Sunday newspaper and just happened to see the Lotto results. At first when I saw the numbers, I was thinking that we had won €350,000. I have no idea why that was the amount I had in mind but I was thrilled with that. Talk about a Sunday morning out of the ordinary! After a while, of course, reality sunk in and I realized just how much we had actually won.”
