Laois mum gives €312k Lotto winnings to daughter who bought her ticket

A generous mother from Co. Laois gave her daughter a Lotto ticket worth €312,042 after her daughter had originally bought her the ticket on New Year's Eve.

The winning ticket matched five numbers and the bonus ball on the Lotto draw on Wednesday last, one number short of scooping the €4.3 million Lotto jackpot on the night.
