A stunned taxi driver walked out of Lotto headquarters a millionaire after popping in to check his tickets.
He won a Daily Million top prize after buying his ticket at Tesco in Phibsboro on January 14th.
The taxi driver regularly saves his tickets and scans them at the head office reception.
He said he was shocked when the receptionist told him he had become a millionaire:
She hands me back this particular ticket, smiled at me and calmly whispered, congratulations, you’ve won a million euro.
No rest for the wicked
The driver returned to driving passengers around the city to keep focused, and says it will take a lot of time for the win to sink in.
So what's he going to spend the money on?
The cab driver says he wants to buy a house by the beach.
