Local Excitement and Winner Contact

Michael Kelly, the owner of Kelly’s Mace, expressed his shock and excitement upon receiving the news from the National Lottery. “The first thing our National Lottery rep said to me was ‘Are you sitting down?’ I was completely shocked when I got the call since it’s not the type of news you hear every day,” Kelly stated according to RTÉ.
