Imagine.

Some in Offaly won a cool and not-too-shabby at all €148k in last night's Lotto draw. The National Lottery has confirmed that the person, who bought the ticket in Birr Post Office on Emmet Square, Birr, successfully picked up €148,259 after matching five numbers plus the bonus number. They are encouraging people in Offaly to check their tickets today so the lucky winner can come forward to claim their prize. "This is great news for a lucky player in Offaly to wake up to this morning and Birr is certainly having its rub of the green of late," said a spokesperson. "We are asking all our players all across the country, especially those who play in Birr, Co.
