The delighted owner of a Co Clare newsagents where a €500,000 EuroMillions Plus top prize ticket was sold has urged her customers to check their tickets.

Ms Casey said: “It’s absolutely incredible, we still cannot believe it! I got the call from the National Lottery late last night and it still feels like a dream. Knowing that one of our customers is a half a million euro richer is just fantastic.

“We are absolutely over the moon for the winner, and we hope that they enjoy this incredible win."
