The lucky winner has opted to remain anonymous, but lottery officials say he was delighted by his double dose of good luck in the Daily Millions draw.
"I’ve always been a very decent fellow, a very generous person," the winner said. "I made a lot of money working in London but I had heavy debts about eight years ago and lost about €400,000 in a bad investment. I regularly play all Lottery games and I’m delighted my luck’s come up."
