Lucky Lotto player strikes gold with €200k win on online scratch card

In a stroke of good fortune, a woman is basking in the glow of a substantial €200,000 win on the National Lottery's All Cash Spectacular online scratch card game.

The elated winner, who wishes to maintain her anonymity, struck gold on Wednesday, January 17, creating an unexpected windfall that left her in disbelief.

The fortuitous Dublin resident, describing herself as an occasional lottery participant, admitted that she rarely indulges in online National Lottery scratch card games, but her winning streak unfolded when she decided to try her luck with the All Cash Spectacular game on the National Lottery website.

"I downloaded the App to manage my Lotto numbers during the pandemic, but I haven't used it much over the last few months. Last week, I opened it up on my phone to play Lotto and thought I'd give one of the games a go because I had some extra money on my account," she shared. Little did she know, this impromptu decision would lead to a life-changing moment.

The surprise victory initially left the lucky winner in disbelief. "I had barely even started the game when this pop-up took over my screen, telling me I'd won €200,000. I thought that it must have been a mistake, and the more I showed my screen to all of my family, the more we realized that I had indeed won €200,000. It really was incredible," she exclaimed.

While still coming to terms with her newfound wealth, the Dublin resident remains level-headed about her plans: "We're still coming to terms with the win, so we haven't made any spending plans as of yet. We do want to do a couple of things around the house, but I can guarantee we'll keep a level head and be sensible with the winnings," she assured.

The National Lottery Digital All Cash Spectacular Instant Win Game, which costs €10 to play, still boasts an outstanding top prize of €200,000 up for grabs. The game is available on the National Lottery App or the official website at www.lottery.ie.
