Bere Island is a small island which is located on the southwestern point of the Republic of Ireland. It is gripped by excitement after one of its 180 residents has triumphed €500,000 from EuroMillions Plus draw. Interestingly, no one among the residents knows who won this prize.

“I can’t believe it, it is amazing. Everyone has been ringing me now; the phones are going mad.” Mary Murphy of Lawrence Cove Post Office who sold the winning ticket told BBC Radio Ulster. She has ruled herself out as a winner. She also sold a couple of tickets to people from outside Bere Island.

This is the first time when anyone from Bere Island won anything significant. A ticket holder among the residents had scooped this €20 earlier. However, the winning numbers for the EuroMillions Plus draw were 5, 10, 41, 43 and 44.
