Irish EuroMillions winner paid terrifying price for becoming country's 58th richest person
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info The largest ever EuroMillions jackpot was won in Ireland in recent days – with the lucky ticket holder now €250million richer. And the National Lottery has since confirmed the golden ticket was sold by a retailer in Cork, with a spokesperson saying they were giving the winner the necessary time to 'let this life-changing news sink in'. But a woman called Dolores McNamara, who used to be a part time cleaner, can attest to the fact that the absurd amount of money may never sink in. She was once the record holder, after winning a cool €115million on the EuroMillions back in 2005. Next month will even mark the 20 year anniversary from when she scooped the eye-watering prize. But despite the elation, the money has also been a poisoned chalice, and below we look back at her extraordinary story. Dolores, a mum-of-six, was not in the privacy of her home in Limerick when she realised she had suddenly become the 58th richest person in Ireland at the time. (Image: PA) Instead, the then 45-year-old was sat in her local pub, the Track Bar, and she put her €2 lottery ticket on a table and told one of her friends: 'Check that for me.' The draw was being shown live on the television and within seconds Dolores was in floods of tears. A barmaid, who was there at the time, once said: 'Then the drink started flowing and the champagne was poured and we had a great night celebrating. Dolores is a real nice woman and none of her friends believe this will change her drastically.' After it became national news, her solicitor released a statement, saying their client had a 'desire to return to normality as soon as possible'. He added: 'She is absolutely determined that her feet and the feet of her family, will remain firmly on the ground.' Unfortunately for Dolores, returning to 'normality' was never really an option, and the riches came with certain complexities. However, what it did do was purchase a huge and extravagant house called Lough Derg Hall. The €1.75m property in Killaloe, Clare, with stunning lakeside views, reportedly was once of interest to acting superstar Robert De Niro. (Image: Press Association) She also snapped up six homes in the Limerick area for her six kids – Dawn, Gary, Kim, Kevanne, Dean and Lee. Despite the joys of being able to set her loved ones up for life, the endless cash brought darker consequences, including Dolores having to purchase 24/7 security at her home. This was after multiple sinister kidnapping threats and it was also reported that her children each had a panic button in case an ugly scenario happened. Her son, his partner and their child were also said to have moved home to stay in a private location after a kidnapping plot where a local gang was rumoured to be planning an abduction. Dolores meanwhile was also involved in a road crash in 2015 and the case continued for years until she finally got a settlement of almost €8,500. Heartbreak followed in recent times after her husband, Adrian, a bricklayer who had invested in his own racecourse because of the lotto scoop, died in 2021. He was only in his 60s and he passed away after an illness. (Image: PA) Dolores is now 64 and the grandmother-of-nine tends to avoid the public eye as much as possible. Speaking to the press is not something Dolores does, despite the huge interest in her win, and her only interview came with her local Limerick Leader paper. She said: 'The question that has been asked of me most frequently was how I felt about my win and my answer is still the same - I feel disbelief and shock. Buying a ticket for that Euro jackpot was a spur of the moment decision. I'd actually gone into the shop to buy a top-up for my phone and just asked the lady for a Lotto ticket.'

Winning €250m EuroMillions ticket sold in Munster
The National Lottery has confirmed that the winning EuroMillions ticket was sold in Munster. A spokesperson said it was sold in a shop. The winning numbers are 13, 22, 23, 44, 49. The two Lucky Stars are 3 and 5. Additionally, one lucky EuroMillions Plus player in Co Wicklow secured the top prize of €500,000 after successfully matching all five winning numbers. The numbers for last night's EuroMillions Plus draw were: 11, 19, 30, 39 and 50. National Lottery CEO Cian Murphy has urged players to check their tickets very carefully to see if they have scooped the jackpot. He added that they will "reveal the winning location as soon as we can". "The details surrounding the winning ticket will be revealed over the coming days," Mr Murphy said. "With such a big win, we have procedures to follow, but we will reveal the winning location as soon as we can. "While this is a massive win, it can come as a shock to a winner and we advise them to stay calm, get independent legal and financial advice and contact us as soon as they can," he added. On Wednesday, the winner was advised to "have a cup of tea and stay calm". National Lottery spokesperson Emma Monaghan said this winning ticket was "bought in a retail store somewhere in Ireland". "This is a massive win for anyone. It's an eye-watering prize, but certainly life-changing and no doubt a huge shock to the winner," Ms Monaghan said, speaking on RTÉ Radio 1. "But if at all possible, stay calm. I know that might be easier said than done. Have a cup of tea and just let it sink in. Players do have 90 days to claim the prize, so I'm hoping that they will make contact before then. 'It's just a matter of letting the win sink in. Most importantly, letting us know that you have the winning ticket. And even just getting financial and legal advice, you know, it is a lot of money, so you want to make sure that you're working it in its best way.' EuroMillions Plus winner In total, over 92,000 players in Ireland won prizes in Tuesday night's draws, including a Wexford punter who won €500,000 in the EuroMillions Plus draw. The winning numbers in that draw were 11, 19, 30, 39, and 50. According to the lottery, the odds of securing all five numbers as well as the two lucky stars in the EuroMillions draw are 1 in 139,838,160. Tuesday night's winner is the 18th winner of the EuroMillions in Ireland and will now take on the title of Ireland's biggest ever Lotto winner, a title previously held by a family syndicate from Naul in Co Dublin in 2019, who won €175.4m. Ireland's first EuroMillions winner was Dolores McNamara from Limerick, who won €115m in July 2005.
