The staff at what could be one of Ireland's luckiest shops is celebrating "a dream come true" after selling their second winning EuroMillions lottery ticket.
Tom Brosnan, manager of G O Stores in Limerick, said staff are in shock after selling a jackpot ticket worth £7.7m (€8.9m). It comes almost 20 years after the shop sold a ticket worth £77m (€112m) to Garryowen woman Dolores McNamara in 2005 – one of the biggest lottery wins in Europe at the time.
The lucky winner of the latest jackpot has yet to come forward.
The shop was also the site of Ireland’s most famous EuroMillions win in 2005 when Dolores McNamara won a jackpot prize worth more than £77m
“I think we must be the luckiest shop in Limerick," Mr Brosnan told BBC News NI.
The second time around makes it all the better.
"It’s been almost 20 years since we sold the winning EuroMillions ticket to Dolores but this win is just as magical."
He does not know who the lucky customer is, but thinks they might have been “passing through”.
“I’d be in like a rocket if it was me," he said. "Whoever they are, we wish them the very best of luck."
