A Euromillions player in Dublin is waking up €500,000 richer this morning after striking the top prize in the EuroMillions Plus draw on Friday night. This monumental win has sent waves of excitement through the Clonsilla area, where lottery participants are now eagerly checking their tickets. This marks the ninth top prize win for 2024, adding to the growing list of lucky winners this year.
The winning Quick Pick ticket, which was purchased at Tesco Ireland in Clonsilla, Roselawn, Dublin 15, matched the lucky numbers 31, 37, 38, 39, and 48. The fortunate winner joins the ranks of Dublin’s elite few, becoming the third person from the capital to claim a €500,000 prize this year. Other winners include players from Tipperary, Cork, Wicklow (with two winners), Kilkenny, and Laois, making it a remarkable year for EuroMillions Plus players across Ireland.
Lottery authorities are advising the lucky ticket holder to take several steps to ensure their prize is securely claimed. The first piece of advice: sign the back of the winning ticket immediately to establish ownership. Next, the winner should contact the National Lottery’s prize claims team by calling 1800 666 222 or emailing [email protected]. Arrangements will then be made for the winner to receive their well-deserved prize at Lotto HQ, ensuring a smooth and secure transaction process.
This win caps off what has been an extraordinary week for the National Lottery. In just seven days, five new millionaires have been created, setting a record for the organization. National Lottery spokesperson Sarah Ruane expressed her excitement, stating, “It’s been the most memorable week of wins we’ve experienced in the National Lottery. Five new millionaires made in just seven days! To round off the week, we’ve just had someone in Dublin scoop the EuroMillions Plus top prize of €500,000!”
The win has brought immense joy not only to the winner but also to the wider community. Residents of Clonsilla have been buzzing with excitement, with many hoping this heightened luck doesn’t stop anytime soon. This positive energy is expected to boost ticket sales for the coming draws, as everyone chases their dreams of hitting the jackpot.
For those who didn’t win this time, Saturday night’s Lotto jackpot still offers a glimmer of hope, with an estimated prize of €3.2 million up for grabs. Tickets are available for purchase in-store nationwide, through the National Lottery app, or by visiting the official website at www.

The National Lottery has also highlighted the array of channels available for participation, encouraging players to use whichever avenue suits them best, and emphasizing the convenience of the official app for those with busy schedules.
In recent months, Ireland has seen a surge in large lottery wins, making many speculate if 2024 could be dubbed the year of the lottery. With more and more individuals from various counties clinching life-changing amounts, the phenomenon has sparked dreams nationwide.
Sarah Ruane also took the opportunity to remind players of the importance of responsible gaming. While winning such large amounts can dramatically change lives for the better, it is crucial to play within one’s means and keep the focus on fun and excitement rather than financial dependence on potential wins.
As the country celebrates another big win, many are left wondering who the fortunate winner is and how this windfall will transform their life. Speculations range from paying off debts and mortgages to travel plans and new investments. However, until the winner comes forward, much about their identity and future plans remains under wraps.
For now, the community remains in a state of anticipation and excitement. The recent win has undoubtedly injected a fresh wave of optimism and joy, not only in Dublin but across the entire nation. The draw has once again highlighted the magic and allure of the EuroMillions and the myriad possibilities it opens up for its winners.
As Ireland revels in another lottery success story, the public waits with bated breath to see who will be the next lucky individual to join the ranks of EuroMillions winners. With continued participation and hopes held high, the next life-changing jackpot win could be just around the corner.
