There is a secret Craig Doyle video that only Lottery winners get to watch

Just when you thought you’d exhausted your good luck on winning.

WINNING MILLIONS OF euro on the lottery might seem like a pretty amazing prospect.

And if that wasn’t enough, imagine then getting the news that you would also be shown a secret video featuring this man…

That’s exactly what happens to those lucky enough to scoop a big win.

The National Lottery confirmed to TheJournal.ie earlier today that the winners are shown the video, but that a copy was not available for public consumption.

Rather that:

The winners’ video is exclusively for winners as a keepsake of their special day.

The National Lottery has also said that the video was shot in a studio, and that there’s “nothing terribly fancy about it”.

So no Scrooge McDuck-esque antics then.

The video aims to guide winners on what to do now that they’ve won and contains much of the same information that’s in the National Lottery’s winners’ booklet, which is available on its website.

Remember money isn’t everything. Your friends and family are probably just as important to your future happiness. They were there for you before your win so you might want to involve them in your plans.
