Cork Family Wins €250m EuroMillions Jackpot
A Cork-based family syndicate has claimed the record-breaking €250 million EuroMillions jackpot, calling the experience “surreal.” The winning ticket was bought at Clifford’s Centra while a family member was running errands.
Despite the life-changing windfall, the family insists they will remain grounded sticking to routines like daily ham and cheese sandwiches and staying in Ireland.
They plan to treat themselves with dream holidays and possibly buy holiday homes “somewhere in the sun,” but their priorities also include helping extended family, friends, and supporting meaningful charities.
Discovering the win while watching RTÉ’s Nine O’Clock News, one member scanned the ticket multiple times in disbelief before waking their spouse to confirm the numbers.
The winning ticket was safely hidden under laundry until claimed.
While the family sought legal and financial advice, they carried on with everyday life. One member plans to buy a Rolex watch, a long-time personal dream.
Still coming to terms with the win, the syndicate says their good fortune won’t change who they are.
