Some folks have all the luck.
One lucky punter who bought their ticket in the south of Ireland won a cool €500,000 in Tuesday night’s Euromillions Plus draw and though the amount wasn’t quite as significant, there was another big winner in Bray.
A Ladbrokes punter in the Wicklow town woke up on Wednesday morning €33,000 richer after a €1 bet correctly predicting four of the five numbers in the draw came through at odds of 33,000/1.
No doubt the punter in question is wishing they staked more than €1 on the bet made at the Quinsborough Road Branch in Bray on Wednesday afternoon, but if they so choose, they could purchase thousands of tickets with their winnings for Friday’s draw, which will have a jackpot of €156 million.
