€87m jackpot winner a mystery

Mystery still surrounds the identity of the lucky person — or persons — who won nearly €87m in Friday’s Euromillions draw.

It is not yet known where the almost-priceless ticket was bought, as the National Lottery remained tight- lipped over the weekend about the whereabouts of the agent who sold it.

All that is known — publicly, at least — is that the €86.7m ticket was sold in the Republic. It is not known when or where, whether it was a quick-pick, multi-draw, or any other form of ticket. Or whether, if the ticket-holder is aware of their good fortune or, rather, massive fortune.
