An unemployed woman from Northern Ireland bought a  Euromillions lottery ticket “on the spur of the moment”. She just won over R450 million rand. HALF A BILLION.

Margaret Loughrey, from Strabane, Northern Ireland, was living on a meager R2,500 a month. That is, until she won the massive jackpot in last Tuesday night’s draw.

The 48-year-old then told her local newspaper, the Strabane Chronicle, that she wouldn’t be leaving her home town. “Definitely not,” she insisted. “It won’t change who I am. Strabane will always be home for me.”

Ms Loughrey describes how she bought the Lucky Dip on Tuesday after applying for a role at her local job centre.

I went to the Job centre and printed out the job application before going to the Supervalu shop. I can’t always afford to do the EuroMillions, but I had a couple of extra pound in my purse and just on the spur of the moment, I did a Lucky Dip.

Want to see the home she’s vowed not to move out of? Sure you do.
