Fortune teller gave Lotto winner the tip

FOR most people a trip to a seaside fortune teller after a lads’ weekend abroad will lead to only an empty wallet and a touch of bleary-eyed embarrassment.

But for one lucky punter the gesture has resulted in a far more fortunate turn of events.

On Saturday, Mark Furlong, 31, originally from New Ross in Wexford, became the latest in a lengthy line of Irish multi-millionaires when he scooped a €2.8 million share of the €5.6m Lotto jackpot.
