In a significant development for lottery enthusiasts, the National Lottery has announced the specific location where a winning EuroMillions Plus ticket worth a staggering €500,000 was purchased. This revelation has come with a fervent appeal for the public to check their tickets immediately.
On Tuesday night, April 16, over 42,000 players in Ireland celebrated victories in the EuroMillions and Plus games. Among these wins, a single fortunate player achieved a remarkable feat by matching all five numbers in the EuroMillions Plus draw, resulting in them securing the top prize of €500,000. The noteworthy winning numbers for that lucky draw were 19, 22, 24, 26, and 47.
Initially, the National Lottery confirmed that the coveted ticket was sold in County Wicklow. In a more specific update, they disclosed that this winning stub was actually purchased at Circle K Bray South on the Dublin Road in Bray, on the very day of the draw. With such an enormous prize on the line, the National Lottery is now urging players, particularly those who bought their ticket from the Circle K Bray South, to carefully inspect their tickets.
In light of the significant win, the National Lottery has provided clear instructions for the winner. They advise the prudent step of signing the back of the ticket and keeping it in a secure place. To claim the prize, the winner should promptly contact the National Lottery prize claims team at 1800 666 222 or proceed via email at [email protected]. The team will then coordinate the necessary arrangements to ensure the winner’s smooth collection of their €500,000 prize.
Adding to the excitement, the Tuesday night draw comes hot on the heels of another substantial win in Wicklow. Just a few days earlier, during the EuroMillions Plus draw on Friday, another online player in Wicklow celebrated a win of the same magnitude, €500,000. The National Lottery spokesperson highlighted what appears to be a burgeoning trend for Wicklow: “EuroMillions players in Wicklow are certainly on to a good thing with two top prize wins of €500,000 just days apart.”
In their statement, the spokesperson continued with an impassioned appeal: “We are urging all of our players who may have purchased a ticket at the Circle K Bray South to check their tickets carefully today. One player out there holds a ticket worth an incredible €500,000.
. The winner should contact our prize claims team as soon as possible and arrangements will be made for them to pop into Lotto HQ to officially claim their prize.”
Detailing more about the Tuesday night’s overall results, the spokesperson noted that the EuroMillions and EuroMillions Plus draws were extraordinarily fruitful for Irish players, with over 42,000 individuals winning various prizes. The player from Wicklow emerged as the highest individual winner in Ireland for this particular draw.
The spokesperson also shed some light on the broader implications of the evening’s draws. Although no one clinched the massive jackpot, which was a substantial €106,321,540, the nail-biting suspense continues as this jackpot is expected to roll over. It is anticipated that the next draw on Friday will present an even more enticing jackpot estimated at €120 million. Aspiring jackpot winners are reminded to procure their tickets well before the cutoff time of 7.30 pm on Friday evening. Tickets are available for purchase in-store, via the official lottery app, or online at www.lottery.ie.
