A staggering €500,000 has been secured by a fortunate individual in Laois following Tuesday night’s EuroMillions Plus draw. The life-changing prize came about when the anonymous player purchased a Quick Pick ticket just a day before the draw at Daybreak on Main Street, Borris in Ossory, Co. Laois. However, the lucky winner has yet to come forward, prompting The National Lottery to issue an urgent call for players to scrutinize their tickets.
The winning numbers in the EuroMillions Plus draw on Tuesday night were 10, 14, 22, 44, 47. If you hold this ticket, The National Lottery advises you to immediately sign the back, keep it safe, and make contact with the prize claims team either at 1800 666 222 or via email at [email protected]. Arrangements will subsequently be made for you to collect your immense prize.
Store Manager Kate Brennan, whose Daybreak store sold the winning ticket, expressed her exhilaration. “This is the most significant prize we’ve ever sold, so the excitement has been through the roof ever since we rang in the news on our social media platforms first thing this morning. Given our location on the old road between Dublin and Limerick, the winner truly could be anyone,” Brennan stated.
She added, “We’re all hoping the winner checks their ticket soon. The whole staff has been overjoyed by the news. Hopefully, this win is just the start, and we might receive more calls from The National Lottery in the future!”
This spectacular victory marks the eighth time the EuroMillions Plus Top Prize has been claimed in Ireland this year. According to records, the previous wins were scattered across Dublin (2), Tipperary, Cork, Wicklow (2), and Kilkenny.
The National Lottery’s spokesperson, Sarah Ruane, echoed the managerial enthusiasm, emphasizing the importance of checking tickets. “We are making an urgent appeal to all players who may have purchased a ticket at the Daybreak, Main Street, Borris in Ossory, Co.
