Florida-based Irish priest wins €500,000 in Euromillions Plus draw last week

A Florida-based Irish priest, who was home for Christmas, won €500,000 in the Euromillions Plus draw last week.

But, Monsignor John Delaney, originally from Co. Mayo, has pledged to share his latest winnings with those in need.

It's not the first time he has won big, previously winning the old Irish Sweepstakes, a number of lotteries in the US and a Garrymore GAA club lotto.

Mr Delaney told The Irish Times on Friday night, "God gave it to me for some reason and I will give it away."
