The Irish postal service, An Post, has denied that they have put on a special van
delivery to carry ‘begging’ letters to Euro lottery winner Dolores McNamara’s home
near Limerick. Dolores won ‚€115, 436, 126 on 29th July, the biggest payout ever
from the Euro lottery game.
The information from An Post follows widespread rumours
that other lottery winners in Ireland have been inundated with letters from individuals
and charities seeking money.

Financial experts have indicated that even on deposit the lottery win will produce
an income of ‚€10,000 per day.
