A KERRY man was delighted to collect his €500,000 top prize today at National Lottery Headquarters .
He won the prize in the EuroMillions Plus draw on Friday, December 15 after buying the winning ticket at the Tesco store in Tralee.
“Do you know that I actually did realise that I had won the top prize back at the time of the draw, but I decided to take my time to collect it,” he said.

“I’m not sure what it was but it’s such a huge amount so I wanted to have a think about it and come to terms with the win. It certainly isn’t something that happens everyday! The very first thing I did was sign the back of the ticket and hid it away in the middle of a book in a drawer at home.”
“I am over the moon and hoping now that I have the cheque in my hand that it might sink in properly so I can plan what to do next. It’s still like a dream at the moment to be even sitting here,” he said.
It’s been a good week for Kerry players. On Tuesday, a Kerry man was at National Lottery Headquarters to collect his €1m winnings after winning the Daily Million draw on Tuesday, January 23.
