Historic First: Ireland’s First-Ever €1 Million Scratch Card Prize Won in Wexford

The National Lottery has today announced a landmark moment, Ireland’s first-ever €1 Million Scratch Card prize has been won, with a player in Co. Wexford scratching their way to this historic win.

This marks the first time in the history of the National Lottery that a player has won €1 Million on a Scratch Card, following the launch of the All Cash Millionaire game, which introduced the highest-ever top prize for an Irish Scratch Card.

The winning retail location will be revealed tomorrow, Tuesday 19th May, when celebrations will take place in Wexford to mark this milestone moment.

National Lottery spokesperson, Darragh O’Dwyer said:

This is a huge milestone for the National Lottery as we reveal that the top prize on the All Cash Millionaire Scratch Card, which is a first of its kind in Ireland, has now been won.

A player in Co. Wexford has scratched their way to €1 million, becoming the first person in Ireland ever to win a €1 million prize on a Scratch Card.

To mark this historic moment, we’ll be in Wexford tomorrow, Tuesday 19th May, to officially reveal where the winning ticket was sold.”

Nearly 30 cent in every €1 spent on National Lottery games goes back to Good Causes in the areas of sport, youth, health, welfare, education, arts, heritage and the Irish Language. In total, €7 Billion has been raised for Good Causes since the National Lottery was established 39 years ago. In 2024 alone, €239.3 Million was raised for local Good Causes in communities across Ireland.
