Tipp punter's Lotto luck

One household in County Tipperary is enjoying the fruits of a €5 flutter after they landed a tasty four-figure sum from just three lucky Lotto numbers.

 

The anonymous customer placed a €5 treble in a BoyleSports shop in the county on Friday and were left hoping for the trio of numbers to come out in the main EuroMillions draw that evening.

 

They were up against odds of 1,500/1 for all three numbers to roll out but it only took a matter of seconds for the betslip to multiply in value as their selected numbers 8, 9 and 39 were the first three out of the machine. The spectacular run meant the Tipp native was able to return to the shop swap their lucky docket for a total of €7,505.

 

Lawrence Lyons, spokesperson for BoyleSports said: “Our Tipperary customer took aim at 1,500/1 odds for three numbers and their investment has proved to be a masterstroke. We congratulate them for scooping such a tasty amount from just a fiver and hope they enjoy splashing out with the winnings.”
