This week, a Dublin resident picked up a €350,000 cheque after matching all six main numbers in the Lotto Plus 1 draw on Saturday 22nd August. The player bought ten lines for the draw, with the successful combination having been chosen by his girlfriend who lives in Thailand.
The couple met whilst the interior maintenance worker, who wished to remain anonymous, was on holiday in the Asian country and have been an item for six months. He ensured that she was at the National Lottery offices, albeit via video link, to see him collect his six-figure prize and now plans to buy a home in Ireland as well as a house near his beloved in Thailand.
He also revealed yesterday that, not only had his girlfriend’s numbers come up for him, she had scooped €40 in a lottery in her home country.
