Following their win, a member of the family syndicate - Ireland's biggest ever Lotto winners - told us: "We just can't believe it."
Mum Kathleen arrived home to her house in Dunleek, Co Meath, with a takeaway on Wednesday night after a life-changing 24 hours.
She told us: "We're still in shock, we just can't believe it."
Kathleen's daughter Emma told us: "They're going to share it between everyone . . . that's what they're like, a real tight-knit family.
"It hasn't hit us . . . It's a major, big shock. It really hasn't sunk in yet. She (Kathleen) told us this morning and said not to say a word."
Daybreak shop owner Les Reilly, who lands a €25,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket, pledged to throw a party.
He told the Irish Sun: "I'm over the moon, it will put the place on the map. We will have a shindig."
It comes as tomorrow's Irish Lotto jackpot stands at a whopping €10million - the biggest jackpot on offer in almost two years.
Not since March 1 2017 has the Irish jackpot reached an amount this high.
Only 20 draws in the history of the Irish lottery have had a top prize higher than €10million.
