The fortunate ticket-holder matched all five numbers in Tuesday night’s (April 16) draw, joining over 42,000 other Irish players who also won various prizes in the EuroMillions and Plus games on that night.
The winning numbers for the EuroMillions Plus draw were 19, 22, 24, 26, and 47. Initial reports from the National Lottery confirmed that the winning ticket originated from Wicklow, but further revelations have pinpointed the exact location: Circle K Bray South, situated on the Dublin Road in Bray.

Winners are advised to contact the prize claims team at 1800 666 222 or via email at [email protected] to arrange the collection of their life-changing prize.
The extraordinary win on Tuesday night comes hot on the heels of another substantial victory. Just days prior, another player from Wicklow had reason to celebrate after winning the same €500,000 prize in the previous Friday’s EuroMillions Plus draw.
A spokesperson for the National Lottery highlighted the impressive streak of luck for EuroMillions players in Wicklow, calling for all ticket holders in the area to check for any winnings. “EuroMillions players in Wicklow are certainly on to a good thing with two top prize wins of €500,000 just days apart,” the spokesperson stated.
