The National Lottery has issued an urgent appeal to the public after revealing the shop that sold a EuroMillions Plus ticket now valued at an impressive €500,000. With over 42,000 players in Ireland scooping prizes in Tuesday night’s (April 16) EuroMillions and Plus games, one exceptionally fortunate individual matched all five numbers to claim the €500,000 top prize.
The winning numbers in the EuroMillions Plus draw were: 19, 22, 24, 26, and 47. Initially, the National Lottery confirmed that the winning ticket originated from Wicklow. Lotto officials have now disclosed that this golden ticket was purchased on the day of the draw at the Circle K Bray South on the Dublin Road in Bray.
Amid the excitement, the National Lottery is urging players to diligently check their tickets as one lucky holder now possesses a ticket worth €500,000. The National Lottery has advised that the winner should immediately sign the back of the ticket to ensure its security. Additionally, they should make contact with the prize claims team by calling 1800 666 222 or emailing [email protected] to arrange the collection of their substantial prize.
This significant win comes close on the heels of another notable victory. Just days before Tuesday’s draw, an online player in Wicklow initiated their weekend celebrations after similarly winning €500,000 in Friday’s EuroMillions Plus draw.
A spokesperson from the National Lottery expressed enthusiasm about Wicklow’s recent lucky streak. “EuroMillions players in Wicklow are certainly on a roll with two top prize wins of €500,000 just days apart,” the spokesperson commented. “We are appealing to all our players who may have purchased a ticket at the Circle K Bray South to carefully check their tickets today because one player has a prize worth an incredible €500,000 waiting for them. The winner should contact our prize claims team as soon as possible, and we will arrange for them to come into Lotto HQ to officially claim their prize.
.”
The spokesperson also shed light on the scope of Tuesday night’s EuroMillions and EuroMillions Plus draws, revealing that over 42,000 players in Ireland won prizes. The Wicklow player, however, emerged as the biggest winner in the country that evening.
While there was no winner for the massive EuroMillions jackpot that was on offer—a staggering €106,321,540—the spokesperson indicated that the jackpot would now roll over to an estimated €120 million for Friday’s draw. This considerable rollover heightens the anticipation among players who are encouraged to purchase tickets either in-store, via the app, or at www.lottery.ie before the 7.30 pm cut-off time on Friday evening.
