An emotional family who recently were facing financial hardship, is now celebrating “a Christmas miracle” after scooping €500,000 EuroMillions win.
The fortunate father who was joined in National Lottery HQ by his joyous wife, purchased the winning Quick Pick ticket in Blanchardstown, Republic of Ireland on draw day, Friday December 17.
Discussing his amazing win, the unemployed man said the timing of his fortune couldn’t have been better.
He said: “I recently lost my job so we have been under a lot of pressure financially with Christmas fast approaching. This win is a huge relief for us all.
“We can now enjoy the holidays with the peace of mind that we don’t have to worry about our bills for a while yet.”
The man found out about change of luck on one of his daily trips to a local newsagent.
He explained: “I checked my ticket as usual on a ticket scanner in a shop on Monday morning. A message flashed up telling me to contact the National Lottery right away.
“I checked again at the counter and the assistant whispered to me that I had won a half million euro. It was an indescribable feeling.
“Every ounce of anxiousness and worry had just been lifted in an instant.”
The joyous family will take a trip over Christmas to fully grasp and enjoy their newly-found fortune.
The delighted dad shared: “Christmas is all about family. We are going to enjoy the next couple of days and celebrate together before we start thinking about our long-term plans.
“In the New Year, I would love to start my own business and work for myself and my family. I now have the financial freedom to do that but I need to discuss it with my wife first.”
