    A woman won 500k in Euromillions. A while before that, she won 250k.

    She says she's generally a "very lucky" person, and she hopes to win an even bigger amount next time.

    Leave some for the rest of us, you greedy biatch!

    Is anyone here generally lucky, always winning stuff?

    WHILE LIGHTNING struck Dublin yesterday, for one lucky woman in the capital it was a case of lightning striking twice.
    The unidentified woman from Cork came to National Lottery offices in Dublin yesterday to collect six-figure winnings for the second time in eight years.
    The woman won the top EuroMillions Plus prize from last Friday’s draw, for which she was presented with a cheque for €502,020.

    In 2001, she won the Lotto Plus 2 top prize of €250,000, bringing her total winnings to more than €750,000.
    The woman, who did not wish to be named, has a grown-up family and lives in Cork city, and called to the lottery offices with members of her family. Her winning numbers were chosen from family birthdays and door numbers.

    The woman purchased her €12 ticket in Centra, the Tower Shopping Centre in Blarney, Co Cork.

    “I would describe myself as an extremely lucky person,” she said over a glass of champagne after collecting her winnings. “I win things regularly and I expect to win more prizes with the lottery. My next aim is to win a big Lotto jackpot – I’d really, really like that.”

    With her last win, the woman travelled with her family to Japan for the World Cup. This time around, she plans to go shopping “for me”.
    According to the National Lottery, a EuroMillions Plus top prize worth €500,000 is still awaiting collection. The ticket was sold on June 11th in McLaughney’s store in Shannon, Co Clare.

    Syndicates buy a lot of tickets. Thus increasing their odds.

    hardly the same numbers again?

    Greedy fcucking cow..a few hundred grand isnt enough for her,she wants a "big" win does she?
    People like her make me sick and the Lottery is nothing more than a tax on the poor and gullible(and,in her case greedy).

    lol i know a gouy who did the same numbers every week... and the week he was on holidays the numbers came out :))))

    Theres no restriction on how many times you can enter for the lotto. 750k is hardly loads now, is it? You couldnt live off it comfortably for the rest of your life.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,185 ✭✭✭asdasd


    Why not?

    Well the exact same numbers? The same line? Think about it. If the chances of winning are 1 in 3 million those numbers should turn up once every 57 thousand years, at once a week - or 28 thousand years if the lotto is twice a week.

    well run her winning number throught the website for all draws and see did the same number come up in 2001. then get a job in her local shop and check peoples game tickets till you the lady who plays them number.














    joking btw the way don't do the 2nd part.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,185 ✭✭✭asdasd


    The exact same numbers would be very suspicious.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,185 ✭✭✭asdasd


    Of course she didnt win the full Euromillions, but even getting 4 or 5 balls with the same numbers is very unlikely, although the bonus balls complicate the mathematics.

    I wouldn't begrudge her if she gave some of that dosh to charity, 750k is way more than enough to live on.

    Both highly unlikely but still possible.

    Its not all that much- if she paid off her mortgage, bought a new car and did those things that you always wished you could do (a cruise, that round the world trip or whatever)- there might not be a lot left over. You certainly couldn't retire on 750k......


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,159 ✭✭✭✭phasers


    The lotto is for saps


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,081 ✭✭✭✭My name is URL


    Obviously a cnut. Going public and all!

    I hope she chokes on a wad of fifties

    I came into 8 grand last december and it made a big feckin difference.
    Got loads of stuff done round the house,new car,paid off the credit card and all sorts...it didnt change my life but it was nice.
    The problem with money is that it makes people greedy..750 grand and she still wants to win a "big prize"?
    Silly old cow.

    some people are born lucky , it kinda pisses me off when people spout the cliche , YOU MAKE YOUR OWN LUCK , if you made your own luck , it wouldnt be luck , just a good descision , luck is when fortune comes your way without you having played any part in it

    Jeez, you're making it sound like she is stealing money from babies or something. It's just the lotto ffs. If you had a lucky streak you probably would play too. Do you go into a bookies or poker tournaments and tell people there that they are greedy old cnts too?

    No, I can't see how it can be any more fair. It's a lotto, she is lucky, and everyone is begruding the hell out of her Irish style.

    No,its her attitude i find fault with.
    instead of saying "Oh my god,i'm so lucky..TWICE..this is brilliant" she's going "I'm a very lucky person.I intend to win even more money next time"

    How does that sound to you?
    Like the words of somebody deserving or somebody obnoxious and greedy?

    It sounds like she likes winning money. Rightly so. Who has she to be grateful to?

    What else are you going to do with cash but spend it? (unless you save, or give to charity, but meh)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,082 ✭✭✭✭Spiritoftheseventies


    yeah charity would be a good idea. or buy some bank of ireland shares. LOL!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,981 ✭✭✭[-0-]


    The National Lottery confirmed last night that there is still a €500,000 prize awaiting collection from a winning ticket sold on June 11 last in McLaughney's Shop in Shannon, Co Clare. Winners have 90 days to claim their prize.

    Jaysus, I know that shop.

    and has 750,000 euro to thank for it

    150 by 4 weeks by 12 months by 30 years = 216,000

    quite a nice profit there!
