A family syndicate in Ireland claimed the record €250 million EuroMillions jackpot. They chose to stay anonymous and described the experience as surreal. The winning ticket was bought during a routine errand when a family member noticed the jackpot sign. After checking the numbers multiple times, the winners experienced shock and disbelief. They formally contacted the National Lottery the next day, and after a tense wait on hold, they received confirmation of their win, leading to overwhelming emotions.
"I saw the sign at the till that the EuroMillions jackpot was €250 million. Although I'm a regular player, I hadn't bought a ticket for the last two draws. I picked one up and honestly, didn't think much of it."
"As you can imagine, sleep was out of the question that night," he added.
"Those few minutes felt like the longest of my life. When Ronan from the claims team confirmed we were the outright winner, needless to say, we were in total shock all over again."
"We both checked the numbers multiple times on the website. We sat at the edge of the bed, saying 'oh my god' over and over - I reckon we said it about fifty times."
