A Limerick woman is believed to have scooped one of Europe's biggest lottery prizes, winning €113 million in the multi-nation EuroMillions jackpot.

But Dolores McNamara from Garryowen will have to wait until Tuesday to collect her winnings because the national lottery offices are closed for the Bank Holiday weekend.

The prize, for which tickets are sold in Britain, Austria, Belgium, Ireland, Portugal, France, Luxembourg, and Spain, reached €113 million after nine successive roll-overs.
