Staff at Broderick’s had only set up their 19-person syndicate seven months ago when they bought their winning match 5 plus lucky star EuroMillions quick pick ticket at Circle K Westway service station on the Kylemore Road in Dublin 12.

Some members of the syndicate revealed they plan to use their winnings toward their newly bought house while another said they’ll be revamping their bathroom. A new car, a first tattoo, new teeth and a new back garden were also on the cards for winning syndicate members.

Alison Ennis, who represents the syndicate, said: “We’ve been running this syndicate since February, so it’s only 7 months old! I’m the one in charge of collecting the money and purchasing the tickets each week.

“On the night of the draw I was looking at tickets and I realised on the last line of the ticket we’d won! I took a picture of it and sent it into our syndicate group chat and the chat started hopping! We couldn’t believe it! Everyone was absolutely buzzing and getting sharing pictures celebrating in their own homes that night.”
