A remarkable twist of fate has occurred for a EuroMillions player in Dublin, who is waking up €500,000 richer this morning after hitting the jackpot in the EuroMillions Plus draw on Friday night. The windfall is the ninth top prize win of 2024, adding to a streak that’s brought excitement and joy to players across Ireland.
Residents and EuroMillions Plus enthusiasts in the Clonsilla area of the capital city are being urged to meticulously check their tickets from the previous night’s draw. This latest win continues a notable trend, as the fortunate individual becomes the third Dublin-based winner for this life-altering sum this year, joining other ecstatic winners from Tipperary, Cork, Wicklow (with two winners), Kilkenny, and Laois.
The winning ticket, a Quick Pick selection, was bought on the very day of the draw at Tesco Ireland, Clonsilla, Roselawn, Dublin 15. The lucky digits that transformed someone’s ordinary day into one of extraordinary fortune were 31, 37, 38, 39, and 48.
In the wake of their unexpected stroke of luck, the winner is advised to secure their winning ticket by signing the back and keeping it safe from potential loss or damage. To claim their monumental prize, the winner should get in touch with the National Lottery’s prize claims team by calling 1800 666 222 or by emailing [email protected]. Once contact is established, the National Lottery will arrange for the winner to claim their prize at Lotto HQ.
This substantial win is a crowning moment in what has been an incredibly fortuitous week for the National Lottery headquarters, punctuated by the creation of five new millionaires within just seven days.
Sarah Ruane, a spokesperson for the National Lottery, expressed her exhilaration over the series of wins. “It’s been the most memorable week of wins we’ve experienced in the National Lottery.
