The National Lottery has issued a call to all EuroMillions players to examine their tickets this morning after one fortunate individual claimed a life-changing sum in Tuesday night’s draw. This draw, held on April 30, has proven to be especially lucrative for over 53,000 players in Ireland, with prizes spanning both the EuroMillions and Plus games. Among these was a notable winner of the Match 5 + One Lucky Star prize, netting an incredible €114,649.
The winning numbers for the main EuroMillions draw were as follows: 13, 22, 24, 33, 47, with the Lucky Star numbers being 01 and 05. The National Lottery disclosed on Tuesday evening that the significant winning ticket was purchased in Co Kildare and is now worth €114,649.
Lotto officials have confirmed that this EuroMillions winner acquired their Quick Pick ticket at Dunnes Stores Newbridge, located on Moorefield Road, on the very day of the draw.
In light of this remarkable win, the National Lottery advises the Kildare-based winner to take several precautionary steps to ensure their claim process goes smoothly. The winner should sign the back of their ticket and keep it in a safe place. Subsequently, they are urged to contact the National Lottery prize claims team directly at 1800 666 222 or via email at [email protected]. Arrangements will then be made for the lucky winner to visit Lotto HQ to collect their Match 5 + One Lucky Star prize.
Sarah Orr, a spokesperson for the National Lottery, underscored the importance of checking tickets thoroughly. “It was certainly a memorable night for a EuroMillions player in Kildare who matched five numbers and one lucky star in the Tuesday night draw to win an incredible €114,649,” stated Orr. She continued, “We are encouraging all of our players who may have purchased their Quick Pick tickets on the day of the draw at Dunnes Stores Newbridge on Moorefield Road to carefully check their tickets today, as one player now has a ticket worth €114,649.”
Orr also noted that this win secures the position of the Kildare winner as the largest individual prize beneficiary in Ireland from Tuesday night’s draw. For those who were not as fortunate and still hold hope for a big win, tonight’s Lotto jackpot stands to roll towards an estimated €2.8 million.
. The National Lottery reminds players that tickets can be purchased not only in-store but also through their official app and website, www.lottery.ie, ahead of the 7.45pm cut-off time for sales this evening.
In addition to the large Match 5 + One Lucky Star prize, ten other Irish players emerged victorious in the Ireland Only raffle draw, each claiming €5,000. This raffle is another avenue through which Irish players find smaller, yet significant wins.
Meanwhile, the EuroMillions jackpot has made headlines beyond Ireland as well. A player in France scooped the headline-grabbing jackpot of €166,790,050 from Tuesday night’s draw. This significant win adjusts the jackpot for the forthcoming Friday draw to a guaranteed €17 million.
As fans across Europe celebrate or dream of their chance at jackpot glory, the National Lottery extends its congratulations to all winners and its encouragement to all participants to remain hopeful. Ireland’s robust engagement with EuroMillions and other lottery games reflects the widespread aspiration for financial windfalls that can dramatically change lives.
