A woman from Northern Ireland has won more than a quarter of a million pounds on the Euromillions.
Roisin McNicholl from Dungiven matched 5 numbers and a lucky star last month.
She bought her ticket at Easons in Coleraine.
"It was actually my mum’s seventy-third birthday on 19 December so my daughter Ciara and I went to Coleraine to buy her a new phone for her birthday,” who lives with her husband Martin and children Ciara and Oisin", Roisin said.
"There was a huge EuroMillions jackpot on offer that night so once we had finished our shopping, Ciara bought a couple of lines for the big draw and I bought a Lucky Dip – on top of my usual numbers that I had already done earlier. That turned out to be the lucky ticket.
"So, had we not gone to Coleraine to buy a birthday present for Mum, I would never have bought the winning ticket in that particular store!"
