May 2018 Is This The Luckiest A group of 10 supermar-


ket workers from Midleton who were inspired to be- gin a syndicate after their colleague


€219,472 on Lotto have cashed in after just nine weeks of playing together, winning a tidy €62,271! Three members of the new winning syndicate from Hurley’s SuperValu - named “Shelley’s Ten” after the person who set it up - today picked up their cheque from Wednesday’s draw (16th


May) in Lotto


HQ. They said they were still flabbergasted that two syndicates


from the same


workplace won in such a short space of time. The group matched five


numbers + the bonus num- ber which this month also carries an additional prize of a holiday voucher worth €20,000. This is the sixth such win as part of the May Getaway promotion


recently won


so far. Head of the syndicate, Smiddy, who


Michelle


works as the scanning of- fice manager at the Super- valu in Midelton, said: “It’s just mental. Our manager got the call on Wednesday night to say we had sold the winning ticket so when I heard I thought that could be us. I checked the ticket using the National Lottery app and the message said to contact the National Lottery claims team. The shop staff just cannot be- lieve it. What are the odds of lightening striking twice here?” The only difficulty for


Michelle was getting her nine colleagues to believe that


won! Michelle also admit- ted that


they had actually the joy in seeing


their colleagues scoop al- most €22,000 each just two months ago was the cata- lyst for setting up their own


Lotto syndicate. “We were delighted that


the girls won and there was an amazing atmosphere in work for the week they won. I just thought that I want to be in on that so I got 10 people together and started playing from the next draw. I never expected to get a big win so early es- pecially as the other Super- valu syndicate were playing for over 2 years. It’s taken us just 18 draws!” Michelle continued. The


delighted group,


who were represented in National Lottery HQ by Michelle Smiddy, Karen Sisk and Donatas Tarozas, bought their winning tick- et in the Supervalu where they work. Each member of the


syndicate, who won this amount on just their 18th Lotto draw together, will get more than €6,200 each. The lucky numbers from
