Imagine finding €500,000 when doing a quick clean around the house?
Well that’s exactly what happened this Dublin dad as he was going through some old Lotto tickets he had laying around the house.
And for all those out there that complain about their nagging partners, it was actually the man’s wife who was pestering him about a pile of receipts and old Lotto tickets that led him to the discovery.
Talking to The Journal he said of the find:
“I was cleaning up a pile of old tickets and I just started checking them on my phone. When I saw that I had won the plus draw, I had to keep scanning my tickets with my wife to make sure we had won.
“It’s hard to imagine that I had a €500,000 winning ticket rolled up into a ball on my floor for three weeks.”
And we’re delighted to hear that this dad will be spending his winnings wisely and selflessly.
“We are going to pay off our mortgage first and foremost while the rest of the money will be put towards our children’s education over the next number of years.”
Now remember to say ‘thanks’ kids.
