€5.7m Lotto winner thanks mum-in-law and some ‘lucky eggs’

A Lotto-winning Cork woman has credited her mother-in-law’s lucky eggs with her €5.7m windfall.

A married couple from Crosshaven yesterday collected their cheque for €5,685,384 from Lotto headquarters following their jackpot win on Saturday’s Lotto draw.

The woman bought her winning €7.50 Quick Pick ticket at Lynch’s Centra Store, but admitted that things could have been very different were it not for her mother-in-law’s insistence on receiving a delivery of fresh eggs on the day of the Lotto draw.
