‘It's absolutely the best time to highlight the benefits of emigration to the US – Trump says he is all for legal immigration'

Thousands who got Morrison visas in the 1990s are showing their gratitude to the politician who made it happen, says businesswoman Elaine Brennan Today at 21:30 Elaine Brennan was in London in 1994 when her mother phoned to say she'd won the lottery. Not the Lotto, you understand, although almost as lucrative and life-changing. It was the lottery for Morrison visas, which allowed about 45,000 Irish people to live and work in the United States at a time when the economy here was ailing. 'There was almost 20pc unemployment,' Brennan recalls. 'I remember looking at job applications, and the only one I could get an interview for was washing dishes in a hotel in Ennis, and that was with a science degree.'

Louth lotto syndicate of 11 tradesmen wins €255,000 EuroMillions

The syndicate are 'Jacks of All Trades', made up of builders, plumbers, electricians, and engineers that have been playing together for five years. The group has stuck to a simple system: one group chat, one EuroMillions ticket each, three lines with the Plus, and everyone keeping an eye on every ticket. On this occasion, their winning Quick Pick ticket was purchased by head of the syndicate, Richard O'Brien, at Applegreen, Newfoundwell Road, Greenbatter, Drogheda, Co. Louth, on the day of the draw. That ticket held the all-important raffle number: I-SDL-14299, and Richard said he initially thought they won a modest €5,000. Typically, every EuroMillions draw produces ten winners of the €5,000 Ireland-Only Raffle prize, but last month players have the chance to win an additional €250,000. 'One of the lads said, 'check again, we've won a lot more than that. There's a special raffle on'. I thought he was pulling my leg until I looked it up. That's when I saw we'd won an extra €250,000. 'The phone was hopping with calls and texts for the rest of the night. It was madness but great excitement,' Richard said. The next morning, Richard phoned the National Lottery Claims team to confirm the win. That evening, the group met up to sign the back of the winning ticket and celebrated their win together. There are many plans for spending the winnings, with talks of holidays and sun destinations, and one winner has his heart set on buying a couch for his partner. The crew of 11 travelled to the National Lottery Headquarters today to collect and celebrate their winnings. This marks the second win in Drogheda over the last week, with €255,000 won last week. Nearly 30 cent in every €1 spent on National Lottery games goes back to good causes in the areas of sport, youth, health, welfare, education, arts, heritage and the Irish language. In total, more than €6.5 billion has been raised for good causes since the National Lottery was established 37 years ago. In 2024 alone, €239.3 million was raised for local good causes in communities across Ireland.
