Everything was about to change though and those money worries were going to be consigned to history.It was the morning after the Irish Lotto Plus 2 draw that the syndicate leader checked the results of the previous evening's draw. Waiting for her was a notification to contact the National Lottery HQ but how much had they won?“We all huddled around a phone in the office as I made the call. When we were told we won the Lotto Plus top prize, we went absolutely mad, squealing and screaming down the phone. It was such an amazing feeling,” said the leader of the lottery syndicate.
