Someone in Ireland will become a millionaire tonight (Friday 19th of August) as the National Lottery continues its special EuroMillions ‘Ireland Only Raffle’ draw, which will make four brand new lottery millionaires in the month of August.    

These raffle events mean that there will be one guaranteed winner of €1 million in each Friday EuroMillions draw on 5th, 12th, 19th and 26th of August.   

As with every EuroMillions draw the ‘Ireland Only Raffle’ sees 10 raffle codes generated with each winning €5,000. One of these ten winners will then have an additional €1 million added to their prize in the four draws over the month.
