A wave of excitement has washed over Kilkenny as news emerged of a local resident winning a substantial €500,000 prize in the latest EuroMillions Plus draw. The fortunate player secured the top prize by selecting the winning numbers 07, 08, 13, 21, and 37 in Friday’s draw—and all from the comfort of their home, having purchased the ticket online.
The climate in the Marble County is one of elation and anticipation as EuroMillions officials have called on all online players to diligently check their accounts. It is within one of these accounts that a half-million euro awaits confirmation. The hope is that the lucky winner will notice the notification and email sent by lottery officials and will then proceed to contact the prize claims team at their earliest convenience. To claim the windfall, the winner must reach out via phone at 1800 666 222 or send an email to [email protected].
The revelation of the Kilkenny winner adds a sense of celebration to the region, especially considering that this winner was amongst 61,000 Irish players who won prizes across the EuroMillions and EuroMillions Plus games. Interestingly, the larger EuroMillions jackpot of €152,030,614 remained untouched after Friday’s draw, consequentially propelling the jackpot estimate for Tuesday’s game to a staggering €165 million.
As if this wasn’t enough to keep the game fever high, another shot at fortune comes with the upcoming Saturday night’s National Lottery draw, where a hefty prize of approximately €2.5 million will be on the line.
A spokesperson for the National Lottery shared their delight over the Kilkenny win: “An online player in Kilkenny has captured our attention and hearts by winning the top prize of €500,000 in the recent EuroMillions Plus draw. We’re reaching out to our Kilkenny-based players to remind them to sign into their online lottery accounts and check for any new updates. It could be a life-changing moment for one of them!”
The spokesperson continued to stoke the flames of excitement for future lotteries, saying, “And let’s not forget, the excitement is far from over. With the Lotto jackpot climbing to an estimated €2.5 million, tonight could see the crowning of a new multi-millionaire.”
