Laois Local Scoops €100,000 in Online National Lottery Win
A stroke of fortune has struck County Laois, where one resident has bagged a staggering €100,000 prize in the online National Lottery.
The big win came on Tuesday, August 5th, when the lucky player tried their hand at Relic Fortunes, a popular instant-win game costing just €5 per play.
The game works much like a virtual scratch card. Reveal matching symbols, and you could be in for a prize. In this case, the Laois winner uncovered the jackpot, the highest possible payout of €100,000.
The National Lottery confirmed the win with an upbeat announcement online: “Winner Alert! A player from Co. Laois won €100,000 playing Relic Fortunes on Tuesday, 5th August!”
It’s yet another reminder of how quickly fortunes can turn with these online instant games. One spin. One ticket. One win.
But the Lottery has also urged caution, reminding players of the risks. Their message was clear: “Play for fun and know your limits. Remember all instant win games are games of chance. Whether you win or lose is set the moment you buy the game.”
The identity of the winner remains undisclosed, but locals in Laois are already buzzing about the news. A six-figure sum could change anyone’s year—and in this case, it all came from a €5 gamble online.
