Punter turns €2 lotto bet into €18,052

IT wasn’t your average Tuesday night for one particular punter in Co. Mayo as their lucky lotto bets scooped them an incredible €18,052.

The customer, who wishes to remain anonymous, place a 50 cent accumulator on the four numbers, 10, 22, 37 and 49, to be drawn in the EuroMillions draw. All four of their numbers were drawn and saw an initial return of €16,500.50.

Their luck didn’t stop there as they also had two 50 cent trebles that returned €750.50 respectively. The first treble was on the three numbers 10, 22 and 37 with the second treble on the three numbers 22, 37 and 49.

Finally, they had a 50 cent double on the two numbers 22 and 37 which returned €50.50 and brought their total winnings up to a staggering €18,052.

Aoife Heffron, spokeswoman for BoyleSports, commented: “Once again a lotto punter has scooped massive winnings for such small stakes. This Mayo punter, who bagged €18,052 thanks to their bet, would have walked away with just €60 had they chosen to do their numbers in their local newsagents.

“We at BoyleSports want to congratulate them and wish them the very best with their winnings.”
