In a remarkable stroke of luck, a Dublin resident has awoken to find themselves €500,000 richer, having scooped the top prize in the EuroMillions Plus draw on Friday night. The winning ticket was part of the ninth top prize victory in the EuroMillions Plus draw in 2024, further contributing to a record-breaking year for the lottery.
Residents and EuroMillions Plus enthusiasts in the Clonsilla area of Dublin are urged to double-check their tickets from the previous evening’s drawing, as they may be the latest beneficiary of this life-changing amount.

Five new millionaires made in just seven days! To round off the week, we’ve just had someone in Dublin scoop the EuroMillions Plus top prize of €500,000,” Ruane stated.
She echoed the earlier advice to all players, particularly those in Dublin, to scrutinize their tickets closely. If they find that they hold the winning ticket, they should act swiftly by signing the ticket and contacting the prize claims team at 1800 666 222 or via email at [email protected] to make arrangements to gather their winnings at Lotto HQ.
