The winner of a $ 175 million Euro Millions jackpot who phoned the Irish national lottery to claim the prize was described as "very together" and "surprisingly calm."
The news spread Wednesday the biggest jackpot in the country.
The lucky note was bought at a store called Reilly's Daybreak in Naul, a village north of Dublin, which provoked a cheering among staff and customers.
The winning numbers 01, 08, 18, 19, 39 and the "lucky stars" 07 and 09 of the European lottery were drawn in Paris on Tuesday night.
Miriam Donohoe, spokeswoman for the Irish Lotto, said the ticket-holder had telephoned his Dublin office Wednesday, sounding calm and calm. "We can confirm that we have heard from the winning ticket holder but are not able to give more details for the moment."
Rumors are circulating on social media that the ticket was purchased by a family union based in Duleek, a village in County Meath, north of Dublin.
"I am absolutely delighted to learn that EuroMillions was won in this riding," tweeted Thomas Byrne, a DT for Meath East. "After what I hear (and do not ask me!), It could not have happened to more pleasant people. Congratulations!"
Sharon Keogan, a county councilor, tweeted, "Get Duleek cleaned up quickly, media around the world are on the way. What a fabulous amount of money to win for this extended family. "
This is the biggest jackpot jackpot won by an Irish ticket holder.
A couple from Moira, in County Down, Northern Ireland, set the island's previous Euro record in January, with a jackpot of £ 115m.
Frances and Patrick Connolly stated that after they realized that they had won, they sat in silence and looked at each other for ten minutes, then took a cup of tea. They said at a press conference that they would share the prize with 50 friends and relatives.
