Limerick player celebrates €15,690 EuroMillions Match 5 win!

A Limerick EuroMillions player has kicked off July with a big win after matching five numbers in Tuesday night’s EuroMillions draw (30th June) to win €15,690. The winning Quick Pick ticket was purchased on the day of the draw, from Centra Monaleen, Castletroy in Co. Limerick.

The numbers in Tuesday night’s EuroMillions draw were: 1, 8, 37, 44, 48 and the Lucky Stars were 2 and 6.

National Lottery spokesperson Emma Monaghan said, “It is shaping up to be an exciting week with a Limerick EuroMillions player now €15,690 richer after matching five numbers in Tuesday night’s draw. We are encouraging all of our players who purchased tickets at Centra Monaleen in Castletroy to check their tickets carefully today. If you are the winning ticketholder, sign the back of your ticket and contact our Prize Claims team so arrangements can be made for you to collect your prize!”

The Limerick ticketholder is advised to sign the back of their ticket and contact the National Lottery Prize Claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie. Arrangements will then be made for them to collect their prize at Lottery Headquarters.

Meanwhile, there were celebrations in the National Lottery’s Winners Room as a family syndicate from Co. Laois collected their biggest prize to date after 10 years of playing together. The group won €389,066 after matching five numbers and the bonus in the Lotto draw on 6th June. Their winning ticket was purchased at SuperValu Portlaoise, Unit 1, Parkside, Abbeyleix Road, Portlaoise, Co. Laois, and the syndicate said the win came as a huge surprise.

“We were just passing by, and it wouldn’t be a shop we would normally buy our tickets in. A couple of days later, we heard that there was in a win in the store so that made us check the ticket. When it was scanned in store, we were handed a slip telling us to contact the National Lottery. That was when the nerves really started!”

The ticketholder admitted that the journey home felt longer than ever, with traffic adding to the excitement and suspense. “We couldn’t get home quick enough. Of course, we got stuck in traffic, which only added to the stress. I couldn’t get rid of the ticket quick enough knowing how much it was now worth!”

Another family member was quickly appointed as the official “ticket-minder” while the group waited for the win to be confirmed. After checking the numbers at home and contacting the National Lottery Prize Claims team, the syndicate said it still took time for the news to sink in.

“Even after calling the team and waiting for Claims to confirm it, we still didn’t fully believe it. We had a small celebration, but we were waiting until we had the cheque in our hands before we properly celebrate!”

The family syndicate said the prize comes at a lovely time, with several family milestones coming up in the months ahead. While they are still deciding how best to enjoy the win, home improvements are already being considered, with one member joking that air conditioning might be top of the list after the recent hot weather.

An online player from Co. Cork also celebrated a memorable win after receiving an unexpected call from the National Lottery while out cycling. The Corkonian matched five numbers and one Lucky Star in the 5th June draw to win €365,515.

“I was out for a cycle at the time when I got the call from Martin in Claims, and I thought it was all a joke! I didn’t think it was real even when I logged onto the app and saw the notification, so we had to double-check the numbers.”

The Cork player said they are still coming to terms with the news, adding, “I’m still in complete shock and it doesn’t feel real sitting here in the Winners Room right now!”

Meanwhile, tonight’s Lotto Jackpot rolls to an estimated €5.5 Million. Players dreaming of becoming Ireland’s next big winner are reminded that tickets for tonight's Lotto draw can be purchased in-store, through the National Lottery app or at www.lottery.ie ahead of the 7.45pm cut-off time for sales this evening.
