Shop worker Ross Butler said the whispers started late last night that someone in Stepaside had taken home the jackpot. 'It started on a Facebook group I think, and it grew from there,' he said. 'Every single person coming in the door has been asking about it, and we've just said we don't know. We have sold a few winning tickets before. 'Recently, there was one sold here that was worth a million, but nothing like the EuroMillions. It'll be nice to know either way if it was here or not because that's all the talk has been today.' Across the road in the Step Inn pub, senior barman Ciaran Ward said the rumours caused a 'great buzz about the place'. He said: 'It would be great if it was sold here, alright, but nobody knows, do they? That's the thing. They're not saying. It could be here or anywhere, but you'd hope it was a group of people who won it and not just one person.' Local punter Larry Butler said that he always does the Lotto with his friend Frank, whom he hadn't seen all day. Frank had yet to check the ticket despite the rumours, Larry explained. 'He has it there somewhere, and it hasn't been checked. I'd trust Larry with it, not a bother,' he quipped. 'You'd want a head on your shoulders if you did win it, but. Best of luck to them, whoever they are.' The first EuroMillions draw was held on February 13, 2004, in Paris. Initially, only the UK, France and Spain participated, with the Irish, Austrian, Belgian, Luxembourgish, Portuguese and Swiss lotteries joining for the October 8, 2004, draw.
