Exact shop that sold life-changing €250million EuroMillions ticket revealed
The Cork shop which sold the mind blowing €250million EuroMillions ticket has been announced. It was announced on Tuesday that there was an Irish winner of the jackpot, the biggest in the competition's history, with it being revealed that Cork had sold the winning ticket. Now, it's been revealed that Clifford's Centra on Shandon Street in Cork City was the lucky shop that sold the even luckier ticket.

The National Lottery also confirmed that the winner made contact with National Lottery HQ, and will be arranging to collect their incredible prize. 'We are absolutely thrilled to have heard from our EuroMillions winner,' National Lottery spokesperson Emma Monaghan said on Thursday. 'At this point, our priority is to give them the necessary time and space to make arrangements and let this life-changing news sink in.' The biggest ever EuroMillions jackpot was finally won on Tuesday (June 17), with the ticket being purchased in Cork. Pic: Shutterstock. 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.
