€11.2m Lotto winner bought lucky ticket after 'happy customer' left a tip

"It was a simple act of kindness from a customer which led my family to a win of a lifetime. It’s something I will always be grateful for."

A Co. Wicklow man has today described how he and his family won a life-changing €11.2m Lotto win after he stopped at a service station to pick up a chicken fillet roll with a €10 note he received as a tip from a happy customer at work.

The Wicklow family syndicate were in Lotto HQ today to pick up their cheque for €11,225,280 – the highest Lotto jackpot prize in over two years.
