The family purchased their ticket online for the Wednesday night draw on August 27 and won the third-highest lotto jackpot in Irish history. They received an email notification of the win while together and initially sat in silence in disbelief. One member contacted the claims team first thing the next morning and received confirmation that the ticket had won. The family claimed the prize at lottery HQ and chose to remain anonymous.
