'The assistant whispered to me that I had won a half million euro': Delighted dad recalls moment he won a fortune

And he'd just lost his job too - how's that for timing?!

A lucky and delighted dad, who recently lost his job, has collected a cheque for €500,000 after scooping a perfectly-timed EuroMillions jackpot.

‘This is truly a Christmas miracle,’ he said, as he was handed the cheque for the EuroMillions Plus top prize from last Friday's draw.
