A MARRIED COUPLE from Dublin have proved true the adage ‘some people have all the luck’ after scooping their ninth big lottery win.
The pair arrived at the National Lottery’s headquarters earlier this evening to collect a cheque for €113,661 after matching five numbers and the bonus ball in last Saturday’s Lotto draw.
On each of their other eight wins they have also managed to hit five numbers – but are yet to scoop the jackpot.
“We are getting closer and closer to the jackpot,” the husband said.
Since the start of the lotto, we have matched five numbers nine times and we’re not giving up on the jackpot just yet.
He said they’d gotten the news of the big win while out having a drink last Saturday night.
The Lotto prizes have gotten bigger in general over the years when you consider that the first time we matched five numbers we won a hundred pounds!
Speaking about their plans for the money, the couple said they were going to give some of it away to local charities, and also to a children’s charity based in Africa.
The couple have decided to keep their identities secret, and the ticket was bought at Eason Newsagents on O’Connell Street in the centre of Dublin.
There were two other winners who matched five balls and a bonus ball, each taking home €113,661.

Enjoy the winnings :-)
Wonder how many tickets they buy for each draw. This could be like the sort of ‘lucky’ story you hear of somebody winning a couple of grand on a lucky 31 on the horses, but you never hear of all the losing 31s they throw away the rest of the time
Go F yourselves :)
agree
You’ve a real chip on your shoulder A B or you’re just a troller. Both I’d imagine considering you’ve been suspended on Twitter.
Ooh Carina. You may be on to summit.
So glad to hear they’re married
But of a weird, irrelevant emphasis on that detail alright
Jammy feckers. I’ve a fiver on my leap card to do me till Thursday.
What are their numbers? For the love of god.
Check the winning line of numbers for their prize on lottery.ie :)
I’m doing those numbers from now on. Feck my sh17ty numbers.
@AB…jealousy will get you nowhere.Best wishes to the lucky couple.
I’m a massive believer in spite, envy and resentment :)
They might not be nice people..
Ha deadly ,fair play:)
Why do the lotto if you win 110k and then give it away. Stop spending money on the lotto. You obviously don’t need to win
they’re not giving it away, just a token to some charities. the rest will go to pay off some of their overwhelming gambling debts.
You only hear about the wins
“we are getting closer to the jackpot”… they do know how gambling works, don’t they? you don’t have less numbers to get with every win!
113k is enough to make life more comfy. But it wouldnt go to your head. I hope so at least. I hope their winnings bring them joy and some little comforts. And most of all…. Enjoy!!!
Well done. Delighted for them..
Are they using a system I wonder?

I use to be a very poor man who has always not find luck when it comes to playing the lottery. I have been playing lottery since i was 21 years and now i am 45 meaning i have been playing lottery for 24 years. The biggest amount i have ever won in my life was 400 bucks. But one day my story turns to history after i find this man name on the Internet that he is the best when it comes to winning lottery. This man is a very strong voodoo doc who gives out the numbers that can never fail. After all my years of laboring and struggling to win the lottery i finally won ( $62,000,000) Dr suju is the name, email is drsujuspelltemple1@hotmail.com this is the only way to win the lottery and the best way.
