€2.4m Lotto winner says positive thinking led him to win jackpot

The winner of the €2.4m Lotto jackpot from Wednesday has revealed positive thinking and a self help book convinced him he would one day win the big one.

The man, who is in his 40s and from Leinster, said when he collected his winning cheque today: "I can honestly say I have visualised this moment for 15 years. I am in shock and struggling to process all of this but I just knew sooner or later that I would win the Lotto.”
