    Winning Euromillions ticket sold at Ardkeen Quality Stores

    It's been revealed that a winning Euromillions ticket was sold in Ardkeen Quality Stores in Waterford City. A young man from the South East, who has chosen to remain anonymous, was one of two winners of the european jackpot. He's bagged himself 12 point 8 million euro after picking the number 32 by mistake on his ticket. The lucky winner collected his cheque yesterday. Ardkeen Quality Stores will also receive a bonus for the win, something director Kevin Jephson told WLRFM News they are delighted about.

    Was in there today, great buzz about the place. The Lotto people were there along with local media. I was told by a few that the young lad bought his ticket last Friday evening, he does the Euromillions every week and that he's Polish.

    From what he told the National Lotto people, it sounds like he's investing it and going to be pretty sensible! The first major purchase was to be a new car!

    If I'm reading between the lines correctly and it's a Polish lad living in Kilmacow that really narrows it down as I only know of one!

    He bought the car I traded in on saturday last so I will know him when I see the car!

    ^^^^ your lamborghini? Ah yeah!

    Wish him the best of luck, can you imagine an Irish person going to London in the 1980's and coming home with a win like that?

    It was Kryogen's comment that threw me in the direction of Polish... I have absolutely no idea who the chap was that won it.

    wtf, I spent ages on that meme and he may not even be foreign :D

    Two stories getting mixed up bere, the big lotto win was sold in Ardkeen stores won by a young Polish chap.
    There is an unclaimed prize of half a million sold in Kilmacow that runs out of time by next week.
    Two lotto stories, equals Chinese whispers

    I said he was Polish. I worked in Ardkeen Stores for years, and was told by my old colleagues there that they had heard he was Polish.

    Like wellboytoo says, there are 2 different winnings and people are getting mixed up.
