It’s not the first time the shop has been lucky, having previously sold a winning ticket worth 300,000 euro.
The Village shop will now receive an incentive of €25,000, Mrs Cong says she'll invest the money back into the shop, and maybe take a holiday!
The National Lottery has confirmed that the winner of the golden ticket has made contact and arrangements are being made for them to collect their life changing cheque.
