'I even slept with the ticket in bed with me!' syndicate claim top lotto prize

A CORK syndicate were delighted to visit Lotto HQ to collect their incredible top prize of €500,000 which they won on a €20 All Cash Exravaganza scratch card. The winning scratch card was purchased at the Westlink Service Station on the Lower Pouladuff Road in Cork City. 

“I don’t think I have ever been in such a state of shock as I was when we scratched off this ticket. We were double and triple checking the zeroes to make sure we didn’t make a mistake. We have been playing together for a while now and we have bought these scratch cards before but we never expected to see the top prize. We were jumping up and down with the excitement at first and then we were shaking – a real rollercoaster of overwhelming emotions,” they said. 

The €500,000 winners admitted that keeping the ticket safe took priority over the days leading up to their trip to Dublin. 

The Rebel County winners are looking forward to putting their windfall to good use.
