A Tipperary family syndicate paid a visit to the National Lottery headquarters today to collect an extra special Christmas present.
They picked up a cheque for half a million Euro thanks to a ticket purchased in Thurles which won the Lotto Plus 1 top prize.
The winning Quick Pick ticket was sold at McKevitts Costcutters Store on Friars Street in Thurles.
Just a few weeks ago another syndicate from Thurles claimed a Lotto jackpot worth over €7.5 million.
