A Laois man has collected a life-changing €1 million prize at the National Lottery headquarters. 

He hit the jackpot after matching six numbers in the Daily Millions 9pm draw last Friday, July 18. 

The long-time Daily Million player who always believed his day would come, wasted no time in making his way to National Lottery HQ to claim his seven-figure cheque, keeping the winning ticket safely tucked away in his wallet since the draw. 

Speaking to the National Lottery, the Laois man explained how today feels like a well-deserved win:  “I am delighted with this win. I’m looking forward to being able to share the win with my family. I have a strong work ethic so my goal is to be sensible with the win, pursue some business interests, but also enjoy more time for myself and with my family”.
