Last night’s inaugural EuroDreams lottery draw heralded a stroke of serendipity for one Dublin-based online player, conferring upon them a novel and substantial prize: a monthly bounty of €2,000 for a span of five years. This win, resulting from matching six numbers, marked a celebratory moment, not just for the victor but also for the annuity-style game making its debut in the Irish lottery scene.
The winning ticket was procured online, prompting lottery officials to issue a reminder to Dublin’s digital participants to review their numbers and potentially uncover their newfound fortune. As the excitement of the new game simmers in the capital, players are encouraged to double-check their entries in what could be a life-altering opportunity.
Beyond Irish borders, the French fared impressively well in the draw, with two players clinching the jackpot prize. Each will receive €20,000 every month for a daunting thirty years, culminating in grand total payouts of €7.2 million—the earnings being tax-free and undoubtedly transformative.
Ireland’s introduction to the EuroDreams comes nearly twenty years after the pivotal launch of EuroMillions in 2004, an indication of the lottery’s evolution and its continuous grafting of hope onto every purchased ticket. The EuroDreams offers a fresh lottery experience not solely to the Irish populace but to fellow players hailing from Austria, Belgium, France, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, and Switzerland. Participants across these eight nations will collectively hold their breath twice weekly, with draws scheduled every Monday and Thursday at the universally anticipated time of 8pm.
Entering the draw is a straightforward venture: one line per draw at the cost of €2.50, where players are to select six main numbers between one and 40, supplemented by a dream number ranging from one to five. Rest assured, the barrier to entry is low, but the potential rewards are unassailably high.
Responding to the outcome of the premiere draw, a spokesperson for the National Lottery encapsulated the celebratory mood: “What a way to start the week! An online player in Dublin had a truly memorable Monday night after becoming the biggest winner in Ireland in the first ever EuroDreams draw. An online player matched six numbers to win the unique prize of €2,000 per month for five years.”
The spokesperson continued to highlight the dual achievements in the EuroDreams draw, recognizing the windfall awaiting the Dublin winner alongside the remarkable rewards secured by the duo in France.
In light of the emergent millionaires and the contagious lottery fever spreading, the National Lottery has wasted no time in issuing another call to action: there’s already another draw on the horizon. Players are cordially reminded that tickets for the upcoming EuroDreams draw are available for purchase up to 7:30pm on Thursday. Prospective contenders can secure their chance at a dream come true via lottery agents nationwide, the dedicated online portal at www.lottery.ie, or through the convenience of the National Lottery app.
