Galway and Limerick Celebrate Big Wins! €500,000 Daily Million Plus and €255,000 EuroMillions Raffle Prizes!

The third of nine guaranteed winners in this month's EuroMillions Ireland Only Raffle has been announced. A player from Co. Limerick is discovering they are €255,000 richer this morning, following last night’s draw (Friday, 9th May). In addition to the usual €5,000 Raffle prize, the Limerick player received an additional prize of €250,000, bringing their total winnings to €255,000.

The winning Quick Pick ticket, which was purchased on the day from Moloney’s Daybreak, Carrigkerry, Athea, Co. Limerick, had the raffle number I-SBS-10586.

Throughout May, EuroMillions players in Ireland have the chance to win an additional €250,000. With six more prizes of €250,000 to be won, and previous winners from Dublin, Meath and now Limerick, the excitement builds as we wonder where the next winner will come from.

This series of special EuroMillions Ireland-Only Raffles guarantees players a top up in the prize fund for all nine draws, every Tuesday and Friday, over the month of May. Typically, every EuroMillions draw produces ten winners of the €5,000 Ireland-Only Raffle prize, but this month, we have created something extra special. In addition to the normal Raffle prize, one winner in each draw in May will win a dazzling €250,000 on top of the usual €5,000 Raffle prize.

However, they aren’t the only ones celebrating this morning as a Galway player has become Ireland’s third winner of the Daily Million Plus top prize of €500,000 in 2025 in yesterday’s (Friday, 9th May) 2pm Daily Million Plus draw.

The winning Quick Pick ticket was purchased on the day of the draw from Mountbellew Post Office, Co. Galway. The winning numbers in Friday, 9th May 2pm Daily Million Plus draw were: 8, 16, 28, 29, 33, 34 and the bonus was 27.

Darragh O’Dwyer, National Lottery spokesperson, said:
"It was a Friday to remember for our players in Galway and Limerick, with two big wins to celebrate this weekend! In last night’s EuroMillions draw, there was no winner of the EuroMillions Jackpot , but over 61,000 players in Ireland won prizes in the EuroMillions and Plus games.
