07.06.18
THE National Lottery
has confirmed that a ticket held by a shop syndicate
in Thurles, Co. Tipperary, has been verified as the
winner of Tuesday night’s mega €17 million
EuroMillions jackpot.
A spokesperson said today: “We can now confirm that
the ticket held by the Stakelum’s Hardware Syndicate
in Thurles, Co. Tipperary, has been verified as
winner of Tuesday night's EuroMillions jackpot and
arrangements are being made for the group to make
their claim in the next week.”
A spokesperson for the 32 member syndicate spoke of
the shock and delight of the group at their mammoth
win with each member's share worth just over
€540,000.
“We simply can’t believe it. We are all in shock but
absolutely delighted and it is great to see this
massive amount of money shared with so many
colleagues. We all get more than half a million
Euros each which is a lovely amount of money. We
need some time to let this sink in and we look
forward to going to Lotto HQ in the next week or so
to get the cheque!” |

Meanwhile there were
great celebrations in the Eason store in Thurles
shopping Centre in Co. Tipperary, which may well be
the luckiest shop in Ireland after selling Tuesday’s mega €17 million EuroMillions jackpot
ticket. Just eight months after selling a €7.5
million Lotto winner!
National Lottery CEO, Dermot Griffin, today
congratulated the Stakelum’s Syndicate on its
life-changing win. And Eason for selling two jackpot
winning tickets in such quick succession.
“This is terrific news we are thrilled for the
syndicate members, and for Thurles which has become
a very lucky National Lottery town. It is always
nice to see a mega jackpot like this shared amongst
several people. We look forward to welcoming the
happy group in the National Lottery Winner’s Room
next week.” |
