Westmeath couple win EuroMillions Plus worth €500,000

A delighted Westmeath couple got the week off to the perfect start today when they picked up a cheque for a cool half a million euro at National Lottery offices.The regular EuroMillions players, who wish to keep the win private, bought their lucky ticket in Flemings, Main Street, Kinnegad."I checked it using the ticket scanner," said the happy wife over a celebratory glass of champagne. 'Contact the National Lottery' popped up on the screen. I thought to myself 'I've never seen that before so it must be good news' but it wasn't till this morning, when we called the National Lottery, that we realised just how much we'd won.""I thought she was messing," smiled the husband. "I never thought it would happen to us."The happy couple are now planning a holiday to celebrate their fantastic win.
