Galway Bay FM Newsroom - A Ballinasloe man has collected his half a million euro prize at National Lottery Headquartes in Dublin
He picked up his cheque after scooping the EuroMillions Plus top prize in last Friday's draw
He's one of three Galway lotto players to win half a million euro in the last two weeks, two from Ballinasloe
Today’s claim comes off the back of another Ballinasloe half a million euro win two weeks ago, while this week a city player also scooped half a million euro at McGreal's in Ballybrit
In a further twist McGreal's also own the Ballinasloe shop where today's claimant got his ticket
The other Ballinasloe EuroMillions Plus winner purchased their ticket at Corrib Oil in Brackernagh on June 23rd
The latest winner, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased the lucky ticket at the EuroSpar store at St. Michael’s Square on the day of the draw
He describes wobbling out to the kitchen to tell his wife the news after checking the numbers online
She says his face was grey with shock
He revealed that he’s been playing the same numbers for the last 12 months
