There was a hive of activity in the National Lottery’s winner’s room yesterday as Ireland’s two newest millionaires from Co. Tipperary and Co. Sligo picked up a combined €2 million in prizes which they won in a special EuroMillions ‘Ireland Only Raffle’ draw.       

The new millionaire from Co. Tipperary purchased their winning quick pick ticket online or on the National Lottery app and  is looking forward to celebrating with family. The winner told the National Lottery that it has been hard to believe their good fortune and says the first act will be taking the family on a well-deserved 5-star luxury style holiday. The Tipperary winner won on August 12th – the second of 4 €1 million euro prizes available in Ireland during August.

Both winners are keeping their identity private.
