As the local community prepares for the holidays, one resident will have extra reason to celebrate with a substantial windfall as they toast to their newfound fortune.
While Cork celebrates this significant win, Portugal is also in a festive mood—the massive €55 million jackpot in the main EuroMillions draw was won with a ticket purchased in the country. This colossal win is a reminder of the game’s international scope and its ability to transform lives across Europe.
In addition to the top prizes bagged by players in Cork and Portugal, 10 lucky Irish participants have each secured a €5,000 windfall in the Ireland-only raffle. Such a prize is undeniably a welcome boost during the often financially taxing holiday season.
