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. This significant win marks the third time a Dublin player has landed the prestigious prize this year, following in the footsteps of other winners from across Ireland, including Tipperary, Cork, Wicklow (which boasted two winners), Kilkenny, and Laois.
The winning ticket, a Quick Pick selection, was purchased on the day of the draw at the Tesco Ireland store located in Clonsilla, Roselawn, Dublin 15. The numbers that secured the fortune were 31, 37, 38, 39, and 48.
The National Lottery has advised the lucky winner to take immediate precautions with their ticket. Firstly, they should sign the back of it and ensure it is stored in a safe place. The next step involves contacting the prize claims team by dialing 1800 666 222 or by emailing [email protected], to arrange the collection of their prize from the National Lottery headquarters.
This remarkable win has capped off an extraordinary week for National Lottery HQ, which has seen five new millionaires created in just seven days. Sarah Ruane, a spokesperson for the National Lottery, remarked on the incredible week of wins, describing it as one of the most memorable periods in recent history. “It’s been the most memorable week of wins we’ve experienced in the National Lottery. 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.
