It will be a very happy Christmas for one lucky Kildare punter, after they scooped €500,000 in last night’s EuroMillions Plus Draw.
The winning ticket was sold in the Tesco store on the Maynooth Road in Celbridge.
A thrilled store manager, Pat O’Sullivan, said today there is great excitement in the area as news of the big win spread.
He said: “We’re absolutely delighted with the news. Its’s great for the Celbridge area, especially in the lead up to Christmas. I have no idea who it is. We have lots of regular customers and at this time of the year, with business being a lot busier, it may be someone from further afield. But I really hope it’s a local here in Celbridge. I hope the winner or winners put the money to good use”.
The winning EuroMillions Plus numbers were 03, 10, 37, 48 and 50.
