    I didn't win the jackpot but I got 5 numbers.

    I'm always so used to picking up a few euros in the shop, so do shops pay out very large amounts, like 2,652 amount?

    When I won with 5 numbers in 2011 (only got €1050) I had to go to the the local general post office to collect it

    Remember only bought the ticket a half hour before the draw lol

    I won a fortune on the Lotto there a while back. The missus said "should we tell people about the win? What about all the begging letters?"

    I said "fcuk it. Keep sending them!" :pac:

    Well done btw.

    Top Tip :


    Beware of relatives and friends finding out when you collect.

    Post offices aren't lotto agents any more afaik.
    It's at shops discretion, but most will either tell you to go to lotto hq (for cheque) or you can go to the gpo for cash.

    Nice win! Well done!
