Ireland's two multi-million euro lottery winners stayed undercover today as the hunt focused on villages in Munster.

Each ticket scooped more than €9.6 million to share the jackpot on last night's rollover heavy Euromillions.

Both were quick picks, it was reported.

Stunned villagers in Foynes, Co Limerick were asking who among them had struck gold at the Costcutters supermarket on Main Street.

Lengthening queues developed as locals filed in from early morning to check if they were holding the passport to a new life, according to shop owner Vincent Kelly.

But so far the winner's identity has been kept secret.

At the Spar on Minor Row, Millstreet, Co Cork it was the same story.

Proprietor John Coleman said customers were taking the news as a sign of good luck for the whole community.

But the winners' cloak of anonymity is expected to be removed by Monday, when they can claim their prizes at the National Lottery's office in Dublin.
