As the early weeks of 2024 unfold, one exceptionally fortunate EuroMillions player in Ireland finds themselves with a reason to celebrate after striking a substantial windfall in the latest draw. This particular individual managed to claim the top prize in the EuroMillions Plus lottery, successfully matching all five numbers—5, 22, 34, 37, and 47—in last night’s draw. This alignment of digits has bestowed upon the player a truly transformative sum of €500,000. Despite the enormity of the win, the lucky ticket-holder has yet to reveal themselves.
The authorities at the National Lottery are seeking the winner and have urged all those who participated to meticulously check their tickets. In a bid to help the winner come forward, they have divulged the location where the golden ticket was sold: a Circle K service station situated on Beaumont Road in Dublin 9. Per reports, the ticket was a Normal Play ticket acquired on the 3rd of January, a Wednesday.
Manifesting their excitement, a spokesperson for the National Lottery addressed the media, remarking, “National Lottery players in Dublin are really having a week to remember! After the Millionaire Raffle draw landed a €1 million prize in Perrystown on Sunday, we witnessed another Dublin player take home €209,699 in the Lotto draw for matching five numbers plus the bonus. Now, rounding off an extraordinary week, another Dublin native has hit a €500,000 jackpot in Friday’s EuroMillions Plus draw.” Identifying the location as the lucky Circle K service station, the spokesperson then offered some advice to the winner: to sign the ticket and get in touch with the prize claims team as soon as possible.
This Dublin resident’s stroke of luck represents the year’s first EuroMillions Plus top prize win. Underscoring the necessary precaution, the winner is advised to sign the back of their ticket and promptly contact the National Lottery prize claims team either by phone or email, with the promise of assistance in claiming their prize.
Yet this jubilation is not solely reserved for the top prize recipient. The recent draw saw more than 47,000 Irish players grab other prizes across both EuroMillions and EuroMillions Plus games. Conversely, there was no claimant for the staggering €53,860,693 EuroMillions jackpot, resulting in a rollover. The jackpot for the forthcoming Tuesday’s EuroMillions is now anticipated to climb to a near-mystical sum of €65 million, setting the stage for potentially more lottery miracles.
The win serves as a beacon of fortune and perhaps a good omen for the year ahead for lottery enthusiasts across Ireland, proving that life-altering moments can arise from the simple act of purchasing a lottery ticket. As the search for the latest winner invigorates the public, the National Lottery champions the spirit of chance and the dreams it can manifest.
