One lucky person in Laois has scooped a staggering €500,000 in Tuesday night’s EuroMillions Plus draw. The anonymous winner accomplished this incredible feat after purchasing their winning Quick Pick ticket just a day before the draw at Daybreak on Main Street in Borris-in-Ossory, Co. Laois. However, the life-changing sum is still unclaimed, prompting The National Lottery to urge all participants to double-check their tickets.
The winning numbers for the EuroMillions Plus draw on Tuesday night were 10, 14, 22, 44, and 47. Players are encouraged to sign the back of their ticket and keep it in a safe place. To claim the prize, the winner should contact the National Lottery’s prize claims team by calling 1800 666 222 or via email at [email protected]. Proper arrangements will then be made for the winner to collect their prize.
The Daybreak store’s manager, Kate Brennan, expressed her excitement upon learning that her store had sold the winning ticket. “This is the biggest prize that we have ever sold, so there has been lots of excitement since we posted the news on our social media first thing this morning,” Brennan said. “We’re located on the old road between Dublin and Limerick, so the winner could truly be anyone. Here’s hoping they check their ticket soon! All the staff were thrilled to hear this news. Let’s hope the winning continues, and maybe we’ll get even more phone calls from the National Lottery in the future!”
Store employees shared in Brennan’s enthusiasm, with many recounting the bustling morning when the news broke. The story quickly spread among both staff and locals, invigorating everyone with a newfound sense of anticipation. The general consensus was unanimous—hope that the winner checks their ticket soon and claims their fortune.
The National Lottery has stressed the importance of verifying tickets, and this draw marks the eighth time this year that the EuroMillions Plus Top Prize has been won in Ireland. Previous winners hailed from Dublin (2), Tipperary, Cork, Wicklow (2), and Kilkenny, underscoring the widespread nature of the lottery’s luck.
