A National Lottery winner who bagged €1million (£850,135) has revealed his partner’s hilarious reaction to his life-changing win.
The man, from Wicklow, Ireland, purchased the lucky ticket for just €1(85p) on April 14.
He decided to buy an online ticket for the Daily Million draw after he received an email that notified him of his account’s balance.
“I won’t lie, it’s been a while since I’ve played any lottery game,” the anonymous man said.

Later that day, he received another email which notified him that he had won a prize, though he only checked the email properly that evening.
To his disbelief, the Wicklow man saw that he was €1million richer.

Some previous winners have chosen to splash the cash on an extravagant trip abroad, a down payment on a house or go towards retirement plans.
However, the Belgian has opted to go for a more humble, reserved approach to life.
He said: “It may seem crazy, but the first thing I want to do is buy myself a few new shirts.”
