Ireland's newest Lotto millionaire 'delighted' as he reveals goal
What would you do with a spare €1 million? Ireland's latest Lotto millionaire seems to have it all figured out. A Laois man has become Ireland's fifth Daily Million millionaire of 2025 after scooping a life-changing €1 million prize in the 9pm draw on Friday, July 18. The long-time punter always believed the day would come, and rushed to National Lottery HQ to collect his prize this week after keeping the winning ticket safely tucked away in his wallet since the draw.

Speaking to the National Lottery, the lucky Laois man said: 'I am delighted with this win. I'm looking forward to being able to share the win with my family. 'I have a strong work ethic so my goal is to be sensible with the win, pursue some business interests, but also enjoy more time for myself and with my family.' Pic: Getty Images While there have been several decent wins since, the mega EuroMillions jackpot win in Cork is still on everyone's minds. The family syndicate, who purchased their truly life-altering ticket in Clifford's Centra on Shannon Street, Cork City, revealed they'll still be enjoying 'ham and cheese sambos for lunch' despite becoming overnight millionaires. Understandably, the family have opted to remain anonymous, but admitted the life-changing windfall has been 'surreal.' Pic: ChrisDorney/Shutterstock One member admitted that they were a regular player but hadn't picked up a ticket for the two previous draws, but decided to buy one on their way to an appointment. 'I was watching the Nine O'Clock News and saw that someone in Ireland had the winning EuroMillions ticket,' they shared, 'Naturally, I got my ticket and scanned it on the National Lottery app, and a message popped up, 'You've won big, contact the National Lottery.' 'I ran upstairs to my wife who had just gone to bed and woke her up. We both checked the numbers multiple times on the website. 'We sat on the edge of the bed saying, 'Oh my god' over and over. We were in total shock, complete disbelief.'
