Westmeath woman claims EuroDreams prize of €2,000 per month for five years

A Westmeath woman made the trip to the National Lottery's famous Winners Room to collect her EuroDreams Tier 2 prize worth €2,000 per month for 5 years.

She won the incredible prize in a draw which took place on Monday, December 1, after purchasing the winning ticket at Monksland Service Station in Baylough.

The prize winner has already started making plans on how to spend her new-found fortune.

“The first thing I’m planning is a trip to New York – I can’t wait! After that, my ultimate big dream is to go to Australia, and I would absolutely love to go on a safari.

"And of course, to travel there by first class – arriving in style would definitely get the holiday off to a great start!”

Meanwhile, players dreaming of being the next big winners to pick up an incredible prize are reminded that tonight’s Lotto jackpot is set to roll towards an estimated €5.2 million.

Nearly 30 cent in every €1 spent on National Lottery games goes back to Good Causes in the areas of sport, youth, health, welfare, education, arts, heritage and the Irish Language.

In total, more than €6.5 billion has been raised for Good Causes since the National Lottery was established 37 years ago. In 2024 alone, €239.3 million was raised for local Good Causes in communities across Ireland.
