The National Lottery has issued a public appeal following the revelation of the shop that sold a winning EuroMillions Plus ticket worth a staggering €500,000.
In Tuesday night’s EuroMillions and EuroMillions Plus draws, which took place on April 16, more than 42,000 players from Ireland won prizes. Among them, one fortunate participant matched all five numbers in the EuroMillions Plus draw, securing the €500,000 top prize. The winning numbers from Tuesday’s EuroMillions Plus draw included 19, 22, 24, 26, and 47.
Initially, it was disclosed by the National Lottery that the winning ticket originated from County Wicklow. The latest update from Lotto officials identifies Circle K Bray South, located on Dublin Road in Bray, as the exact sale location of the winning ticket. The announcement has triggered an intense appeal to the public, urging players to meticulously check their tickets, given that one among them holds a ticket valued at half a million euros.
Successful ticket holders are guided to sign the back of their ticket to secure their claim. They are further instructed to safeguard it and make immediate contact with the prize claims team by dialing 1800 666 222 or emailing [email protected]. The National Lottery will then facilitate the winner’s visit to collect their substantial prize.
The recent win is not an isolated event in Wicklow. It comes hot on the heels of another significant win where an online player secured the same €500,000 prize just five days earlier in Friday’s EuroMillions Plus draw. This consistent stroke of luck has led the National Lottery to encourage all EuroMillions players in Wicklow to double-check their tickets amidst the excitement.
A spokesperson for the National Lottery underscored the notable winning streak in Wicklow, expressing, “EuroMillions players in Wicklow are certainly on to a good thing with two top prize wins of €500,000 just days apart.” The spokesperson reiterated the appeal, asking players who bought tickets at Circle K Bray South to scrutinize their tickets and reach out to the prize claims team promptly.
Tuesday night was particularly prosperous for players in Ireland, with over 42,000 individuals winning various prizes. Despite the substantial winnings, no one clinched the colossal jackpot, which was valued at €106,321,540.
. As a result, the approaching Friday’s jackpot is now projected to reach an estimated €120 million. Lotto officials remind hopeful participants that tickets for the next draw can be acquired in-store, via the Lottery app, or on their website, www.lottery.ie, before the sales cut-off at 7.30pm on Friday evening.
The National Lottery’s website and app have been bustling with activity as players check their numbers in hopes of finding a winning ticket amidst the recent roll of good fortune. Additionally, the EuroMillions jackpot’s continuous climb has further amplified the excitement.
Lotto officials are keen to emphasize the importance of checking tickets thoroughly to avoid the unclaimed ticket dilemma. The National Lottery diligently works to ensure winners come forward and collect their prizes through constant updates and appeals like this.
In broader terms, the National Lottery’s role continues to span beyond just creating winners. A significant portion of its proceeds support various community projects, transforming lives and contributing to societal betterment. Each ticket sold contributes to this greater mission, an aspect that the Lottery proudly highlights.
Players who have yet to check their tickets are highly encouraged to do so to avoid missing out on potential wins.
