Lucky Ardee Resident Reveals Plans for Lotto Winnings
Ardee News and Sport – An Ardee man is celebrating in style after scooping an impressive €109,103 in the latest National Lottery draw. The lucky resident collected his cheque from the Lottery’s new headquarters at 1 George’s Quay, Dublin, following his win in the Wednesday, October 9th draw.
The thrilled player matched five numbers and the bonus ball, having purchased the winning ticket at Malone’s Londis on Drogheda Road in Ardee, Co. Louth. Speaking after his win, the man shared how he almost forgot to check his ticket until he heard a local shop had sold the prize-winning ticket.
“When I heard the big win happened here locally, I thought I’d better check my numbers. I couldn’t believe it when I saw I’d matched five and the bonus! I had to ask my partner to double-check it because I thought I was seeing things!”
Now, with his prize safely in hand, the winner has hinted at some exciting plans for the future. High on his list is a sleek new car or perhaps a well-deserved family getaway. “I’d really like to change my car or go on a sun holiday with my family. I’ve been playing the lottery for years – ever since I moved to Ireland almost 20 years ago. This is the first time I’ve ever won anything.”
This life-changing win has brought a wave of excitement to Ardee, as friends and locals congratulate the lucky resident on his windfall.
