We all dream of winning the Lotto someday, and now one lucky Dubliner has woken up with a dream come true.

The National Lottery has confirmed that one overall winner took home the jackpot of €4.5m, and that the ticket was sold in Dublin, however they have not yet revealed the exact location.

In case you're still holding onto hope and haven't checked your ticket yet (are you crazy?!), the winning numbers were 2, 5, 12, 34, 41 and 47, and the bonus number was 29.

We were having a chat around the office to see what exactly we would do if we won that amount of money, and one of the answers was, 'buy an island'.

What would you do?!

IMAGINE cleaning up your room, finding a Euromillions ticket and poof! You've just won €500,000. It would be pretty sweet, right?

Well, that exact scenario has just happened to a man in Dublin.

According to The Journal, the man, who wants to remain anonymous, said that his wife asked him to clean up a pile of papers, and he couldn't believe what he found.

"I was cleaning up a pile of old tickets and I just started checking them on my phone. When I saw that I had won the plus draw, I had to keep scanning my tickets with my wife to make sure we had won.

“It’s hard to imagine that I had a €500,000 winning ticket rolled up into a ball on my floor for three weeks.”

The winning ticket was a quick pick selection and was purchased in Ballsbridge, Dublin 4.

When asked how he'll spend his good fortune, the Dubliner said: "We are going to pay off our mortgage first and foremost while the rest of the money will be put towards our children’s education over the next number of years.”

Ireland may not have made it to the Eurovision final, but this year’s winner is a massive hit in the celebrity world.

Around 180 million people tuned in last night to watch Austrian drag artist Conchita Wurst be crowned the Eurovision Song Contest winner with a score of 290, after belting out a roof-raising ballad Rise Like a Phoenix.

“This is dedicated to everyone who believes in a future of peace and freedom,” a tearful Conchita said as she accepted the trophy. “We are unity and we are unstoppable.”

Celebrities took to Twitter last night to congratulate the singing sensation –  the alter ego of 25-year-old Tom Neuwirth.

Radio One DJ Jameela Jamil wrote, “I have nothing but love for Conchita.”

Comedian John Bishop added, “It’s only a song contest but tonight it showed talent can overcome prejudice and ignorance. Well done Conchita – I am glad I saw that moment.”

Boy George said, “Gorge. A vote for gay solidarity!”

Former Steps singer Claire Richards seemed to think she had been the inspiration behind Conchita’s win writing, “I think Conchita nicked her performance idea from my tour solo!!! Long dress on a plinth!”

Hmmmm… maybe not Claire.

TV presenter Gabby Logan added, “Conchita the World Beater.”
