Punter’s lotto numbers win

It took only three lucky numbers to spark the celebrations for a punter in County Tipperary after they landed a four-figure sum from a modest flutter on the lotto.

The anonymous customer placed a €5 wager in a BoyleSports shop in the county on Friday, picking out three numbers to land in the main EuroMillions draw later that evening.

They were left waiting on numbers 2, 10 and 19 all to land and the odds of 1,500/1 on all three rolling out soon shrunk when the draw got under way. Within seconds they had all rolled out and the coup was complete.

The run of good fortune allowed them to return to the shop and swap the €5 betslip for a grand total of €7,505.

Lawrence Lyons, spokesperson for BoyleSports said: “It only took three numbers so fair play to our customer from Tipperary who made light work of the 1,500/1 odds. We wish them a happy time working out how to spend their winnings!”
