I’m not the €10.6m Lotto winner, says Corbett

A midweek Lotto jackpot of €10.6m was collected yesterday as the Tipperary hurler Lar Corbett denied, through Twitter, he was the lucky winner.

Corbett tweeted his denial as the National Lottery confirmed a “family syndicate” collected the cheque after a €6 wager.

It had been heavily rumoured in Thurles — Corbett’s home town — that he had scooped the prize along with business partner Kevin Coppinger.
