EuroMillions winner Dolores McNamara's life since €115 million win

This week one lucky Irish EuroMillion's player scooped up a record-breaking €250 million, sending the country reeling. The winning ticket, sold in Clifford's Centra on Shandon Street in Cork city, marks a first for the Rebel County and is the largest prize ever claimed in Ireland since EuroMillions launched here in 2004. After days of speculation and excitement, the National Lottery confirmed that the lucky winner has made contact with their Prize Claims team, officially ending the guessing game. The shop's owner, Ted Clifford, said he was delighted with the win, and there has been a great buzz in the shop since they found out the news. "Very exciting. It's huge. It's definitely going to be the hottest day of the year in Shandon Street," he said on RTÉ Radio One. One of the most famous wins prior to this week's historic jackpot is Limerick's Dolores McNamara, who snapped a life changing €115 million back in 2005. From her luxury homes to kidnap threats, here is everything you need to know about her life since her massive win. When Dolores picked up the life changing sum in 2005, she declined to speak to the press, with her solicitor issuing a statement on her behalf instead, RSVP Live reports. He said: "She is absolutely determined that her feet and the feet of her family, will remain firmly on the ground." Her win made her the 58th richest person in Ireland at the time, richer than Van Morrison or Enya. After her win, Dolores and her husband Adrian moved into Lough Derg Hall, a vast property and estate in Ogonnolloe, overlooking Lough Derg. The Limerick native purchased the 10,000 sq ft hill-top property for €1.75m in 2005, after it had reportedly attracted the interest of Hollywood actor Robert De Niro. The lavish country manor, boasting amazing lakeside views, at the end of a half-mile long private entrance, fronted by electric gates and an eight-foot high wall, is set on 38 acres, including a coach house. Dolores additionally purchased houses in and around the area for her six children, Dawn, Gary, Kim, Kevanne, Dean, and Lee. In the years after her win, it was reported that the family had to invest in around the clock security after receiving a number of kidnapping threats. In 2005, the media reported that Dolores' son Gary McNamara, his partner and their child left their Castletroy home to stay at a private location after reports of a kidnapping plot. In 2021, Dolores' husband Adrian passed away following an illness. He passed away at home surrounded by family, and was laid to rest at St Flannan's Church, Killaloe, at 12pm, on Saturday, April 24. Dolores has only ever spoken once publicly since the lifechanging win, when she gave an interview to her local paper, the Limerick Leader. "Buying a ticket for that Euro jackpot was a spur of the moment decision. I'd actually gone into the shop to buy a top-up for my phone and just asked the lady for a Lotto ticket," she told them.

Cork's Shandon Street buzzes with rumours after €250m EuroMillions win — but local legend says 'not me!'

The luckiest man on Cork's historic Shandon Street had to set the record straight as the rumour mill went into overdrive about Ireland's largest-ever €250m EuroMillions winner. Christy Forde, who has run his Shandon Upholstery business on the street for almost half a century, said that despite his remarkable winning streak in recent months, he did not hit the jackpot this time. 'Sure I'd have had a heart attack if I'd won that amount,' he said. As celebrations erupted in Clifford's Centra on Shandon Street — the shop that sold the winning €250m EuroMillions ticket for last Tuesday's draw — Christy became the focus of intense speculation. He had previously won the Millionaire Raffle, buying the winning ticket at Clifford's last Christmas and gifting it. The €100,000 prize remained local, he confirmed. He also recently won the church lotto and a soccer club raffle. But on Friday, Christy admitted he enjoyed fuelling the EuroMillions rumour mill — with a twinkle in his eye. 'When I heard it was won in Ireland, I went into Clifford's on Wednesday to check my ticket,' he revealed. 'We didn't know at that stage that the winning ticket was sold in Cork, or even in Clifford's. "I queued up and there was a crowd behind me and the staff checked my ticket, and when they gave it back to me, I shouted 'yes! yes!' and the whole place was stunned. But sure, if I'd won it at that stage, I'd have had a heart attack on the spot. 'So when it confirmed on Friday that it was sold in Clifford's, I thought, here's my chance — get famous. I'm famous on Shandon Street already,y but not all over Ireland. They know I'm a lucky man, so I went up to the top of the lane, and got out my ticket for the next draw, and said 'oh, me heart is thumping'. Christy Forde, of Shandon Upholstery, the luckiest man on Shandon Street, Cork, who had to come clean to deny rumours he is Ireland's largest ever EuroMillions jackpot winner. 'Someone told me to sit down, and asked did I want some water, and if I was alright. Now, I never said I'd won it, but my intention was that Christy Forde would go sky high. 'But it wasn't me. Whoever it was, the blessings of God on them. They should do what I would do — they should keep working. If I won it, I wouldn't work at all on Saturday mornings, I'd take Saturday mornings off.' The jaw-dropping €250 million jackpot sets the record for the largest prize ever won in Ireland. It marks the 18th EuroMillions jackpot win in Ireland since the game began in 2004 and the 13th National Lottery millionaire of 2025. Store owner Ted Clifford said it was still hard to believe his shop had sold the winning ticket. 'We are here on Shandon Street for 95 years and am so proud to be the third generation owner of Clifford's. We send our warmest congratulations to the winner and their family,' he said. Just up the road, second-generation cobbler Martin Duggan advised the winner to take their time and let the scale of the win sink in. 'I've heard a few rumours of people buying a few rounds of drinks in the local pubs, but they're only rumours," he said. "It's a mind-boggling amount of money. If it was a syndicate, I think it would be known already so it looks like it's a single winner. 'I think it's someone local, and we're delighted. It's great for the shop, it's great for the street." National Lottery chief executive Cian Murphy described the moment as historic for both the National Lottery and the country, and a day of celebration for the community served by Clifford's. 'We are very well-versed in managing this. We advise all winners to sign the back of their ticket, keep their ticket safe and bring it to National Lottery HQ,' he said. 'We also advise them to get independent financial advice and independent legal advice. 'This is a life-changing amount of money, and it's very important that people get that advice.' If the winner or winners choose to remain anonymous, Murphy added, the National Lottery would support them in maintaining their privacy. Rumours were swirling across Leeside — that it's a family from Blarney, a 10-person syndicate on the northside, or a group of friends working in a pharmachem company. One man, said to be in a 'winning syndicate,' denied the claim. 'And even if I did win, I wouldn't go public and here's why. I have loads of enemies, and I want to keep it that way,' he joked.

The EuroMillions jackpot was capped at the quarter of a billion euro earlier this month, and after a number of draws where no one won, white smoke finally rose with the latest millionaire being announced; with few predicting that the continental competition's winner would come from Ireland. Of course, this isn't the first time that Ireland have had a massive winner of the competition, nor is it the first time a winner came from Munster — as Dolores McNamara, from Co Limerick, won a life changing €115million on August 4, 2005. As well as this, a family syndicate from Naul in Co Dublin won an even bigger €175.4million in the then-biggest jackpot in the competition's history.
