Lotto millionaire maintaining a low profile

A POLE, a builder or an asylum seeker. They were the main candidates last night as Millstreet’s Lotto millionaire managed to keep a low profile.

Despite speculation, the identity of the person or persons who bought the €9.6 million winning EuroMillions ticket in Coleman’s Spar shop on Friday remained unknown.

Rumours were flying around the town that the ticket was bought by either a local syndicate of builders, or by a member of the town’s large Polish population, many of whom are engaged in the building trade.
