Speculation is mounting as to the identity of the country’s newest multimillionaire.
The 250 million euro pot is the largest amount of money ever won here.
The National Lottery has confirmed the ticket was bought in a retail shop in Munster.
It says the lucky winner will be in shock, but is asking them to get in touch as soon as possible.
These people have been telling Clare FM’s Darragh O’Grady what they’d do, if they had the golden ticket.
A Clare financial advisor, meanwhile, says the winner should take measured decisions, assemble a team of experts and tell no-one.
Tommy Corbett of Carey Corbett Financial Solutions has been telling Clare FM’s Seán Lyons that given the nature of Irish communities, it’ll be “very difficult” for the successful ticket-holder to keep it quiet for long.
