They say lightning never strikes twice, but one Wicklow woman may beg to differ after winning twice on the same draw on EuroMillions during the week.

It was thought that two Irish people had won €59,000 after matching 5 numbers and 1 “Lucky Star”, but the National Lottery have confirmed that the same woman won twice after forgetting she had already played, she chose the same numbers a second time so keeps the entire €119,000 to herself.

Winning once is an incredible feat, but twice?

And no, we’re not begrudging at all…
