A resident of Dublin has woken up to a life-changing windfall of €500,000 this morning, having secured the top prize in the EuroMillions Plus draw held last Friday night. The astronomical win has prompted excitement and urgency among EuroMillions Plus players in the Clonsilla area of the Irish capital, especially given that this marks the ninth top-prize win in 2024 alone.
Lotto officials are urging everyone in the Clonsilla vicinity to comb through their tickets from last night’s draw meticulously. This significant victory further distinguishes Dublin, as this is the third win of this magnitude by a resident of the city this year. Dublin’s celebratory cohort joins other recent winners from Tipperary, Cork, Wicklow (two winners), Kilkenny, and Laois, underscoring a fruitful streak for the nation’s avid lottery players.
