This Friday the EuroMillions jackpot is off the scales at an estimated €70 million!! A player in Ireland is as likely to win or share in that jackpot as any other player in Europe, if they match the elusive five numbers and two lucky stars.
The EuroMillions game, which now takes place every Tuesday and Friday, has been very lucky for players in Ireland since it began in 2004. Since then, the total in EuroMillions prizes won by players in Ireland is a whopping €386.6 million. Dolores McNamara from Limerick remains the biggest EuroMillions winner in Ireland so far, since she won over €115 million in July 2005. Her win still ranks as one of the largest EuroMillions wins in Europe.
National Lottery good causes benefit from the sale of all National Lottery games including EuroMillions, with one third of all sales (approx) going to fund Beneficiary projects around the country, as designated by Government.
