A Donegal Lotto player has pledged that a €4.4 million win will not change them in any way, and they are back at work today.
No details have been released about the winner, who collected their winnings yesterday after keeping the ticket in the glove compartment of their car for a month.
The jackpot was won on January 13th, but only claimed yesterday, with the winner confirming they checked the ticket after driving past the Daly’s Topaz complex outside Lifford and seeing the electronic sign proclaiming that they had sold the winning ticket.

National Lottery Statement in full –
Thursday 15^th February 2018: It’s business as usual for Donegal’s newest multi-millionaire who plans to be back in work tomorrow after collecting a Lotto jackpot winning cheque worth a massive €4,434,994.
This cool-headed winner – who hit the jackpot from the Lotto draw on Saturday 13^th January –  revealed the golden ticket was kept in the glove box of the car for the past four-and-a-half weeks!
The Donegal Lotto player said: “I keep all my Lotto tickets in the glove box. Once I found out I won I stored the ticket in the glove box of the car during the day while I was at work. But I took the ticket into the house at night time. That piece of paper has clocked up some mileage over the past month!”
The lucky winner, who wished to remain anonymous, stated that the new-found fortune “would not change me one single bit.”
“It’s business as usual for me as I have no plans to take time off work to celebrate. I took today off to collect the cheque in Dublin and I’m back in work first thing in the morning”.
The magic Quick Pick ticket was bought at Daly’s Topaz on the Letterkenny Road in Lifford, Co. Donegal and the winner spoke of the role Daly’s played in how they found out they had won the jackpot.
The winner said: “I was driving past Daly’s Topaz on the Sunday after the draw and, while I had heard on the radio that the Lotto was won, I hadn’t gathered that it was won in Donegal. I saw on their huge digital sign at the filling station that they had sold the winner and I just thought straight away that it was me. When I checked the numbers I was bowled over.”
The person said that they have only told family members about their lucky win and plans to share it with them. The charitable individual also stated that they would make a number of donations to charities close to the person’s heart.
