€250m EuroMillions ticket shop revealed

The winning ticket in a €250m (£213m) EuroMillions jackpot was sold at a shop in Cork city in the Republic of Ireland, the Irish National Lottery has announced.

The winner, who has already contacted the company but has not been identified, bought the ticket at Clifford's Centra store in Shandon Street.

The shop owner, Ted Clifford, told Irish broadcaster RTÉ there was a "great buzz".

He added he had "no idea" about the identity of the winning ticket holder.

He also revealed his shop sold a €100,000 (£85,000) winning ticket on New Year's Eve.

"I think this is when our luck started for the winning streak", he said.

"I send my warmest congratulations to the winner and their family, and hopefully they'll have good fortune with their money."

He added that staff at the shop were planning "a big celebration".
