A family from Dublin are celebrating a €1 million lotto win after hitting the jackpot on Saturday.

The winning ticket was bought at Spar in The Square Shopping Centre, Tallaght. The syndicate of four people collected their prize from the National Lottery on Wednesday.

The head of the syndicate recalled the unforgettable moment he discovered their win. Checking the ticket on Sunday morning, he couldn’t believe his eyes.

“I burst into my daughter’s room, startling her awake, and said, ‘Here quick, rub your eyes and check that!’”.

He said his daughter checked the numbers, and the two sat across from each other in shock and silence.

Another member of the syndicate arrived shortly after, fresh from a weekend of socialising. “Any headache I had from the weekend soon disappeared when I got the news that we’d won €1 million!” he laughed.

The head of the syndicate admitted he had not stopped trembling since discovering their win.

He hid the ticket between t-shirts in his wardrobe for safekeeping before contacting the National Lottery claims team first thing Monday morning.

The family plans to split the jackpot equally, with each member receiving €250,000.

When asked if they had any splurge plans, the head of the syndicate joked, “Nah, I’ll still be shopping in Penney’s.”

The family is looking forward to celebrating with a special dinner and some travel around the world.

Wednesday’s lotto jackpot is back to base at an estimated €2 million. You can check the results here.
