Imagine the feeling of waking up this morning with that winning ticket in your pocket.
There’s someone in Ireland that’s now €88,587,275 richer after last night’s Euromillions draw.

Someone won €88 million in the #EuroMillions .
Just so they know I can totally make a 'I won the euro millions' card to send their boss.— TwistedDoodles (@twisteddoodles) January 24, 2017
As my mother would say, those #EuroMillions winning numbers are low, so they're all birthdays.

Any chance the winner of the #Euromillions has OCD? That €587,275 figure after the €88 million is terribly odd and I would love to help out.
