A fresh wave of excitement has taken over Dublin as a local EuroMillions player struck gold in last night’s draw, ushering in a prosperous new year. In a remarkable twist of fate, the unidentified individual secured the top prize in the EuroMillions Plus draw, correctly matching all five numbers, which were 5, 22, 34, 37, and 47. The prize at stake was a substantial €500,000 — enough to turn one’s life around — and the news has swiftly spread as National Lottery officials urge the winner to step forward.
Despite the city basking in the joy of recent wins, with a €1 million windfall from a Millionaire Raffle draw and a substantial Lotto prize of €209,699 won by players in Perrystown and Fortunestown respectively, this latest win has sparked a renewed sense of anticipation. The fortunate ticket for the EuroMillions Plus was purchased at the Circle K service station on Beaumont Road in Dublin 9, as a Normal Play ticket on January 3.
In the swirl of this thrilling news, the National Lottery has issued an appeal for EuroMillions players, especially those in Dublin, to meticulously check their tickets, as the winning ticket worth half a million euros could be lying unclaimed somewhere in the Beaumont area. Following protocol, the winner is encouraged to immediately sign the back of their ticket and contact the National Lottery prize claims team to make arrangements for claiming the prize.
As the first EuroMillions Plus prize to be claimed in 2024, the significance of this win is not lost on lucky Dubliners. Amidst the celebrations, there is also a sense of anticipation for the next draw. Even though there were over 47,000 prize-winning players across various tiers of the EuroMillions and EuroMillions Plus games this time, the €53,860,693 jackpot eluded all entrants. Consequently, the prize pool for Tuesday’s EuroMillions jackpot is expected to soar to an estimated €65 million, raising the stakes and the dreams of players across the continent.
