The lucky lady, who wishes to remain private, purchased her ticket on 13 December 2012 in Mac’s Books & Newsagents, Upper Main Street, Buncrana, Co. Donegal.
But she only finally claimed her prize today – a month after her numbers came up!
She had discovered her good luck just after Christmas after checking her numbers she picked for the December 15 draw.
The winning ticket was a €12 normal play ticket.
She matched all six numbers to win the top prize – the winning numbers were 12, 19, 23, 30, 39 and 43.
Celebrating with a glass of champagne, today’s winner reflected on the news of discovering her win over the Christmas period, “It has been a rollercoaster!”
Tomorrow night’s Lotto jackpot is heading for €7.5 million.
