Meanwhile, there was huge excitement in the National Lottery’s winner's room today as two separate winners from Mayo and Kildare picked up a combined €1million in prizes which they won in EuroMillions and scratchcard games.
The Mayo winner scooped the €500,000 top prize in the EuroMillions draw on Tuesday June 21 after purchasing their winning quick-pick ticket at the Maxol Service Station on the Newport Road, in Westport, Co Mayo.
The winner, who wishes to keep their win private, spoke of their shock when they realised they won the half million-euro prize and said: "I’m completely gobsmacked - it’s only really starting to sink in now!
"It’s not a life-altering sum of money but it’s an ideal amount for me to make some nice changes to my life.
"First and foremost, I’m looking forward to paying off the rest of my mortgage and helping some family members out. It’s a lovely sum to win, but I'm going to keep working and keep life going as normal as possible.
"I might start looking into a last-minute holiday to celebrate the win in style and soak up some sun too."
Also claiming a substantial prize from Lottery HQ was a Kildare player who won the top prize of €500,000 on a €20 All Cash Extravaganza scratch card.
The winner purchased their scratch card at Steve’s Daybreak on the Main Street, Newbridge, Co Kildare.
Spending plans have already been made and the winner is looking forward to sharing her new-found fortune with her family once the dust settles on their win.
Meanwhile, excitement is building across Ireland as lotto fever sweeps the country ahead of Friday's Euromillions jackpot.
The huge prize is set to roll towards an estimated €230million.
A North County Dublin family syndicate currently hold the record for winning the highest EuroMillions jackpot in Ireland after scoring a whopping €175.4 million in February 2019.
