Bere Island syndicate collects €500,000 EuroMillions prize

Just 180 people live on the island - and a syndicate among them won €500,000. They want to remain anonymous.

A syndicate from a small island off the coast of Cork has collected its €500,000 EuroMillions prize at the National Lottery offices in Dublin today.

Seven days after the 180 residents of Bere Island were thrust into the spotlight when the winning ticket was drawn for the EuroMillions Plus prize, the search is now over for the winners.
