22 Dublin Bus drivers have collected their Euromillions winnings from the National Lottery this afternoon.

The group – who have 700 years of service between them– will collect over 1 million euro each - after sharing a jackpot of almost 24 million euro.

The syndicate has been playing together for 17 years and switched from weekly Quick Pick tickets 3 years ago, choosing to stick with the numbers from their last quick pick ticket, the numbers which ultimately delivered the jackpot win!

Spokesperson for the syndicate said: ”This is an incredible feeling, and to win the Euromillions as such a big group is very special.  We are going to enjoy the celebrations and look after each other as a group in the next few weeks.”
