Winner waited TWO MONTHS before claiming €500,000 jackpot

He just wanted a bit of time to think about it.

A man who deliberately waited two months to claim a €500,000 EuroMillions jackpot said he used the time to consider his life choices and research which charities to help.

The Cavan man, who wants to remain anonymous, said: “My head has been spinning for the last two months. A couple of days after the draw, I was back in the shop (the Applegreen N3 Cavan Service Station) and the place was full of posters and balloons to celebrate the big win. Straight away, I thought to myself that there’s a big chance this fuss is all for me.
