The National Lottery is making an urgent appeal to all EuroMillions players in Ireland this morning to meticulously check their tickets following a remarkable win in Tuesday night’s draw. One lucky player has secured a significant six-figure prize, and the organization wants to ensure the winner claims their reward promptly.
The Tuesday night draw saw over 53,000 participants in Ireland taking home various prizes from the EuroMillions and Plus games. Among these numerous winners was one standout who matched five numbers plus one lucky star to claim a substantial prize worth €114,649.
The winning combination for the main EuroMillions draw dated April 30 consisted of the numbers 13, 22, 24, 33, and 47, alongside the lucky stars 01 and 05. The National Lottery disclosed that the fortunate ticket, now valued at €114,649, was sold in County Kildare.
Further confirmation from Lotto officials indicated that the EuroMillions ticket was a Quick Pick purchased at Dunnes Stores Newbridge on Moorefield Road, precisely on the day of the draw. This information is pivotal for narrowing down the potential owner of the winning ticket.
The National Lottery has issued crucial guidelines for the Kildare prizewinner. The winner is advised to sign the back of their ticket and safeguard it securely. Subsequently, they should reach out to the National Lottery prize claims team, either by calling 1800 666 222 or via email at [email protected], to arrange a visit to Lotto HQ for the collection of their Match 5 plus one lucky star prize.
Sarah Orr, a spokesperson for the National Lottery, highlighted the importance of diligence amongst ticket holders from the night. In a formal statement, Orr emphasized, “It was certainly a memorable night for a EuroMillions player in Kildare who matched five numbers and one lucky star in the Tuesday night draw to win an incredible €114,649.” She goes on to urge, “We are encouraging all of our players who may have purchased their Quick Pick tickets on the day of the draw at Dunnes Stores Newbridge on the Moorefield Road to carefully check their tickets today as one player now has a ticket worth €114,649.”
Orr also pointed out that the Kildare winner had taken the title of the biggest winner in Ireland for the night’s draw. She took the opportunity to remind hopeful players that the next opportunity for a major win is just around the corner.
. “For any players hoping to be the next winner to celebrate a big win, tonight’s Lotto jackpot is set to roll towards an estimated €2.8 million. Lotto players already dreaming of what they would do as Ireland’s next jackpot winner are reminded that tickets can be purchased in-store, through our app, and at www.lottery.ie ahead of the 7.45 pm cut-off time for sales this evening.”
In addition to the €114,649 winner, 10 Irish players each took home €5,000 in the Ireland Only raffle draw held the same night. This highlights another layer of winnings available to regular EuroMillions participants and highlights the fact that significant sums can be won outside of the main jackpot.
Notably, while Ireland had its significant wins, a EuroMillions player in France took home the staggering €166,790,050 jackpot in Tuesday night’s draw. With this massive payout claimed, the jackpot for Friday’s draw is now reset to a guaranteed amount of €17 million, providing a fresh chance for hopefuls across Europe.
