    How the hell did that happen?:eek:
    Surely the shop could check the time and check the CCTV and identify the winner that way.

    Afaik, you have 90 days to claim the prize. Or it goes back into the pot
    A lot of begrudgers on this thread, shame on you!

    Sure Mike, Waterford is part of the sunny south east or so we learned in school.
    Therefore, you don't need lotto money to cheer you up with all the good weather down there.:p

    I'll bet the winner was a rich scumbag farmer with relatives who were arrested for various minor offences.
    Totally undeserving of the win IMHO.

    Wouldn't it be funny if it was one of the Roma who bought it before they were shipped home
    They could buy millions of roses and plastic cups

    I'm full of bitterness and hatred towards the winner-and I don't even do the Lotto. :D

    A tax on the poor.

    Northern Bank in Donegal Square, Belfast were able to handle a single withdrawal of over 16 million in cash a couple of years back.

    Well it wasn't me anyway. I just hope the winner is someone who can put it to good use and not some elderly farmer who will keep living normally but enjoy 'the stresses of life being gone'.

    The winning ticket is inside my workplace, pinned to a notice board.

    I wish. Problem is, I can't remember what the numbers were and I keep thinking 'It could be....' Stupid lotto messing with my head!

    I had a quick look allright Cooperguy - don't think we stopped by the right newsagents on this occasion.

    - Thats ok though, I think if we won big on our first night it would have piss€d too many folks off......Best to do these things gradually :p

    It wasn't me either. I had 20 Euros worth of quick picks, and I got a 1 Euro scratchcard back apparently. There's always the 2 syndicates at work I entered too, hopefully!
