Niamh O’Mara is on top of the world this morning. The Galway woman threw caution to the wind when she had literally €24
The lucky player bought the winning ticket at SuperValu, Clonfert Avenue, Portumna, Ballinasloe, Co. Galway.
Ms. O’Mara collected her cheque at lottery HQ yesterday afternoon.
Ecstatic after the win, she said The Sun: “I’ve played the Lottery every week since I turned 18. I play the Euromillions every Tuesday and Friday, and pick up the odd scratchcard every now and again.
“I always felt I would win the lottery, and that one day I would be here in the National Lottery picking up a cheque. Our mam passed away a few years ago and in some ways I think this was a gift she has sent me.
“I’m off on holidays on Monday to celebrate and after that a new house and some celebrations with the family are in order.
“I honestly just can’t believe it, it really is a dream come through, my whole family are only delighted for me.”
