Store owner Mary Tourish
has been running the local family-owned service station since 2007
and was in complete shock to get the call that her shop
had sold the winning ticket: “I’m still shaking to be
honest with you, I just can’t believe it. To think that
one of our customers is walking around €1 million richer
is just unreal!
You start thinking about what an amount like that can do
for people and I mean it really would change your life.
We’re the main shop in a very small village, I mean you
couldn’t be more local if you tried. Because we’re so
small you’d never really think that we’d sell one of the
big winning tickets, you’d imagine it would be one of
the larger shops that would, so it’s just fantastic for
us, it means everything.
January and February can be a really tough time for
retailers, but something like this creates such
excitement and gives us a real boost. I won’t get a wink
of sleep over the next few days, I’m absolutely
buzzing!”.
The National Lottery has confirmed that it is still
