The crowd that "sold the winning ticket" have gotten a fair amount of free publicity...over nothing!!!

They were quaffing champagne on the 6-one news!

What I want to know is why the Lottery are lying to the public. Fair enoght to generate some sort of a buzz. But don't take people for fools, with lines like, 'we don't know where it was sold'.

That's a lie, you do. If you can determine in an hour it was sold in Ireland, then you sure as hell know, everything about the the ticket right down to second it was spat out of a machine or online generator.

Have a bit of respect for the Irish. We are not as tick as we are made out to be.

They'll get a little something out of this. It's tradition for big lottery winners to gift the shop who sold them the ticket.

A low 5 figure sum in this case I would imagine.

Yeah, but it was sold in Dublin, apparently!

Mind you, who knows what to believe these days - I'm starting to doubt my own name lately :eek:

Why would they get anything?, they didn't sell the winning ticket..

DEFTLEFTHAND · 26-01-2017 10:15PM

Oh sorry, I'm only catching up on the updated story now. I didn't realise the place in Cork hadn't sold the winning ticket.

Or maybe they don't say exactly were to give the people that won it a bit of privacy and time to process it?

Why do people always think there is a hidden agenda?

Cant understand it myself. Said it was a Cork factory, interviewed the shop keeper from Glantane or wherever it is and then the CEO of the lotto says it was bought in Dublin.
Wat dafuq.

Emm,I'd say the crowd who were quaffing champers on the 6-1 news said it...well,maybe not,but were happy to go along with the unfounded rumour at any rate...

shafty100 · 26-01-2017 10:26PM

Yeah, but which shop (in which county) sold the winning ticket???

That's the million-dollar (or more probably a few grand) question!!!

€25,000 for a Euromillions Jackpot Winner, €10,000 for an Irish Lottery Jackpot winner, and €3,000&€2000 for a Lotto+ 1/2 Jackpot Winner IIRC.

We sold a Winner back in the 90's. Woohoo!! IR£5,000....except there were 6 winning tickets that draw, the most before or since. Shop Jackpot commission split 6 ways between the six shops just like the Jackpot. Received Lotto cheque for IR£830. Just our fcuking luck!!

The winning ticket for the EuroMillions jackpot of €88,587,275 was sold in Dublin, the National Lottery confirmed this evening.

The agency this evening said: "The lucky ticket holders have made contact with the National Lottery following their win to make arrangements to collect their prize money."

HeidiHeidi · 26-01-2017 10:46PM

I'd dearly love to know how the rumours of the Cork win (right down to it being not just J&J, but a subsidiary of J&J, and the shop the ticket was sold in) all started!

Oooh, maybe it WAS a subsidiary of J&J after all, but one of them on a day out in Dublin bought the ticket?

Syndicates are used as a smokescreen for a winner to remain anonymous

shafty100 · 26-01-2017 11:12PM

in fairness to whoever started this rumour , just brilliant , especially your one in the shop with the champers on ice , at least she got some great publicity out of it, it wouldnt be suprised if the lottery were behind it themselves

I really thought when RTE were broadcasting from there that there was a whole back story that proved for certain that the winners were from there.

Can you imagine the work syndicate in J&J hearing the rumours they'd won, going to their guy that organises it and buys the ticket to be told, "I swear to Christ Lads. We didn't win!!!" "My Hole Boi!! Me and the rest of the lads will be taking shifts parked outside your house in case you try and make the Dash to Shannon with all your suitcases in the middle of the night!!"

B.A._Baracus · 27-01-2017 11:05PM

The shop owner (clondalkin) said his hoax was "hilarious"... Nah mate. Makes you a spoofer.

Like if he did it just to promote his shop so be it. Just come out and say that. Otherwise spoofer.

If the winners feeling generous I'm right over here!
