€94m winner’s identity as elusive as the full story of the banking collapse

The financial woes caused by the “stars” of the Anglo tapes which have afflicted an entire nation will no longer be troubling one lucky Irish citizen who scooped almost €94m in Tuesday’s Euromillions draw.

However, the identity of the holder of the life-changing ticket remains as elusive as the complete story of Ireland’s banking collapse following a day of speculation where the ticket was sold. Sallins, Blanchardstown, and Carlow all featured in the frame as the location of Ireland’s newest millionaire as social media websites cranked into overdrive.

However, the National Lottery put a geographical dampener on such excitement by confirming the winning ticket was sold in Dublin after the anonymous winner had made contact.
