Tuesday’s EuroMillions jackpot prize of €166,790,050 has been won, National Lottery bosses have confirmed. This staggering amount has found its home in France, where an exceptionally fortunate individual managed to clinch the life-changing prize by successfully matching all five main numbers along with the two lucky stars.
The monumental win has taken the EuroMillions community by storm, especially as this jackpot has been one of the largest in recent memory. The excitement doesn’t stop there, as it was also a particularly favorable night for one player from Ireland. Although this Irish player missed out on sharing the €166 million jackpot by just one number, they still walked away with an impressive reward of €114,649. This consolation prize was secured by correctly selecting all five main numbers and one of the two lucky stars, showcasing their impressive closeness to the big win.
The Irish National Lottery, in a statement, has confirmed that the winning ticket was sold in County Kildare. This announcement has spurred a wave of anticipation and excitement among the residents of Co Kildare, many of whom are undoubtedly examining their tickets with renewed hope and excitement. Overall, more than 53,000 players in Ireland won prizes in the EuroMillions and Plus games, making this one of the most celebrated draws in recent times.
While nobody managed to claim the top prize in the EuroMillions Plus draw, there were still significant wins to be noted. A total of 47 players were each rewarded with €2,000 after correctly matching four out of the five main numbers. These winners have added another layer of celebration to the Irish lottery community, who are reveling in the fact that so many residents have benefited from the latest draw.
In addition to these wins, 10 players in Ireland found themselves celebrating substantial victories as they each won €5,000 in the Ireland Only raffle draw. These winnings, while not life-changing, certainly bring holiday cheer and mark what has been a fruitful period for Irish lottery players.
