The National Lottery is making an urgent appeal to EuroMillions participants this morning, following the revelation that one fortunate player has secured a substantial six-figure prize in the latest draw held on Tuesday night. The win, amounting to a remarkable €114,649, is specifically tied to the Match 5 + One Lucky Star category in the game.
In a noteworthy sequence of events, over 53,000 players across Ireland found themselves on the winning side of last night’s EuroMillions and Plus games. Amongst the large pool of winners, one player stood out as they hit the Match 5 + One Lucky Star prize worth €114,649. The winning numbers for the EuroMillions draw on April 30 were: 13, 22, 24, 33, 47, with lucky stars numbered 01 and 05.
On Tuesday evening, the National Lottery disclosed that the winning ticket was purchased in County Kildare. The ticket, now esteemed at €114,649, was confirmed to have been sold at the Dunnes Stores located on Moorefield Road, Newbridge, on the very day of the draw.
Lotto officials are now urging the lucky Kildare winner to take steps to secure their prize. They should sign the reverse side of their ticket and keep it in a safe place. Following this, they are instructed to contact the National Lottery prize claims team either by calling 1800 666 222 or by emailing [email protected]. Arrangements will then be made for the winner to visit the Lottery headquarters to collect their Match 5 + One Lucky Star prize.
National Lottery spokesperson, Sarah Orr, issued a statement encouraging Tuesday night’s participants to carefully examine their tickets to see if they are the fortunate holder of the €114,649 prize. “It was certainly an unforgettable night for a EuroMillions player in Kildare who managed to match five numbers and one lucky star in Tuesday night’s draw, clinching an exceptional €114,649 prize,” Orr stated.
“We are urging all of our players who purchased Quick Pick tickets on the day of the draw at Dunnes Stores Newbridge on Moorefield Road to scrutinize their tickets closely today, as one individual now holds a ticket worth €114,649,” she added.
Furthermore, Orr highlighted that the Kildare winner claimed the title of the leading winner in Ireland for last night’s draw. Anticipation is now building for future draws, with tonight’s Lotto jackpot projected to escalate to an estimated €2.8 million. Orr advised dreamers aspiring to be Ireland’s next jackpot winner to act promptly. “For those hoping to be our next major prize winner, tickets for tonight’s Lotto can be purchased in-store, through our app, and on our website at www.lottery.ie, but be mindful of the 7.45 pm sales cut-off time this evening,” she reminded.
In addition to the major win in Kildare, ten other Irish participants were also fortunate, each clinching €5,000 in Tuesday night’s Ireland Only raffle draw. The winning raffle numbers for the Ireland Only raffle were announced and are available for verification.
Drawing the international lottery scene into perspective, a EuroMillions player from France clinched the colossal €166,790,050 jackpot from Tuesday night’s draw. Consequently, the prize pool for the upcoming Friday draw is assured to be a minimum of €17 million.
