Tonight’s EuroMillions Jackpot Rolls Towards €215 Million (est.) Could Ireland welcome another Multi-Millionaire?

Whether it was a rush for a Quick Pick or a sunny stroll for a 99 ice-cream cone, two EuroMillions Plus players found themselves €500,000 richer after matching all five numbers in recent draws.

Dundalk Winner’s Quick Pick Pays Off in a Big Way A EuroMillions Plus player has claimed a prize of €500,000 after matching all five numbers in the 1st August draw. The winning ticket was purchased at Applegreen on Old Newry Road in Dundalk, Co. Louth.

The winner, who usually plays their own chosen numbers, shared that on this occasion they were in a rush and opted for a Quick Pick - a decision that proved to be remarkably rewarding.

“I scanned my ticket the following morning and saw the message ‘You’ve won Big!’ pop up on screen” they said. “I rushed to check the winning numbers from the main draw, but none matched. Then I realised I was looking at the wrong draw. When I checked the Plus numbers, they danced off the phone, they all matched!” Still in disbelief, the player sat in the National Lottery’s Winners Room awaiting the delivery of their cheque. They plan to use the prize to prepare for their future, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter.

Wexford Woman’s Sunny Day and Sweet Treat Ends with €500,000 Win Also claiming a EuroMillions Plus prize was a Wexford woman who won €500,000 in the 8th August draw. Her ticket was purchased from Gala Express, Courtown Harbour, Courtown, Co. Wexford.

“I remember the day well because the sun was shining and all I wanted was a 99 ice-cream cone. I bought the Quick Pick ticket not thinking about the possibility of winning.” Speaking about the win, she said “This is a life-changing prize for me, without any major changes. It’s going to provide long-term security, and it’s just amazing – I still can’t believe it.”

Can lightning strike twice? Just weeks after an Irish player claimed a record-breaking €250 Million EuroMillions Jackpot in June, tonight’s draw rolls towards an estimated €215 Million. Players dreaming of becoming Ireland’s next Multi-Millionaire are reminded that tickets can be purchased in-store, through the National Lottery app, or at www.lottery.ie ahead of the 7.30pm cut-off time this evening.
