The rolling hills of Kilkenny are reverberating with excitement as one fortuitous online EuroMillions player struck it incredibly lucky, nabbing the top prize of €500,000 in the EuroMillions Plus draw on Friday night. The charming county known for its medieval history and picturesque scenery has now gained fame for an entirely different reason—a life-altering lottery win for one of its residents.
The winning numbers that transformed the anonymous player’s life were 07, 08, 13, 21, and 37. The golden ticket was procured through an online purchase, leading to a half-million-euro windfall that has yet to be claimed. All EuroMillions aficionados in Kilkenny are being prompted to vigilantly check their online accounts for the pivotal notification that could signify their financial fortune.
The National Lottery representatives have put out a call to action, encouraging the winner with these serendipitous numbers to come forward. The claimant has been advised to establish contact with the prize claims team through a dedicated phone line or by sending an email to the official claims address. Following this, the lucky individual will be guided through the simple process of claiming their substantial prize.
Friday night’s draw proved to be a lucrative event for Irish players in general, with an astonishing 61,000 participants across Ireland garnering prizes in both the EuroMillions and EuroMillions Plus games. Yet, despite the plentiful wins, the grand EuroMillions jackpot remained elusive with no victors for the staggering €152,030,614 top prize. This has set the stage for an even more colossal jackpot of a projected €165 million for Tuesday’s draw, which has lottery players brimming with hope.
In addition to this, there is another chance for lottery lovers to grab a massive prize, with the National Lottery draw on Saturday night showcasing an estimated jackpot of €2.5 million. This presents a second opportunity over the weekend for individuals to become overnight multi-millionaires.
With the public’s excitement mounting, a National Lottery spokesperson shared enthusiastic words: “A Kilkenny online player has joined the ranks of top prize winners, having scooped a cool €500,000 in Friday’s EuroMillions Plus. As the buzz spreads, we are calling upon our players in the ‘Marble City’ to check their accounts with the utmost attention. After all, one of them has a life-changing prize awaiting them!”
The spokesperson added to the thrill, reminding everyone that there is still time for more players to snag fortune-altering wins this weekend, with the much-anticipated Lotto jackpot rising to an estimated €2.5 million tonight.
For hopeful lottery enthusiasts aiming to become the next Lotto success story, tickets are available broadly, with purchases possible through retail stores, via the National Lottery app, and on the official website. Players have been reminded of the fast-approaching 7:45 pm cutoff time for ticket sales for this evening’s draw.
