Family Syndicate Claims €250m EuroMillions Jackpot

Staff and locals at Clifford's Centra in Cork City celebrated when it was confirmed that the winning ticket had been sold in the store. The winning family syndicate has chosen to remain anonymous.

The winners of the historic €250 million EuroMillions jackpot expressed their 'complete disbelief' upon learning about their life-changing win last month. The family syndicate, winners of the largest jackpot in Irish history, have claimed their prize and received the big cheque. They have opted to stay anonymous and described their journey as 'surreal'.

One family member mentioned that the win wouldn't change them, stating, 'I'll still be having my favourite ham and cheese sambo for lunch every day.'

The winning story began with a simple errand when a family member stopped at Clifford's Centra on Shandon Street in Cork city to pick up a few items. Seeing the EuroMillions jackpot sign, they decided to buy a ticket, not expecting much. However, upon checking the ticket after hearing about the winning ticket in Ireland, they were shocked to discover they had won.

The family member shared, 'I must have checked it four more times, I just couldn't believe my eyes.' The couple, in complete shock, stayed up all night after confirming their win, repeatedly exclaiming 'Oh my God.'

After contacting the National Lottery, they were confirmed as the winners of €250 million. The family kept the ticket hidden until it could be handed over to the National Lottery. They sought legal and financial advice before planning to go on a family holiday and support their loved ones and charities.

Despite the newfound fortune, the family expressed their intention to stay grounded and not let the win change them.
