Lotto winner arrives in stretch limo to claim his prize but grand entrance fails

A 23-year-old farm worker has everything planned, even arriving in a stretch Hummer limousine to collect his £850,000 (€1,000,000) lotto winnings.

However, one thing the Irish man forgot to bring for the big day was the all-important “lucky ticket.”

Odhran Doherty had to ask for his stretch limo to be turned around 10 miles into his journey (from Donegal to Dublin, Ireland) to collect his winnings.

“My father put it in a safe place, a wee bit too safe now to be honest. We were in Raphoe, near where we got the bloody thing,” Odhran told the Sun.

The winning lotto ticket was a gift from his father, Liam, who bought the tickets for him and his mom.

The family is now looking to buy a new tractor for their farm, and go shopping in New York.
