A EuroMillions player in Kildare is sure to be celebrating today after matching five numbers in Tuesday night’s draw to win €21,858. The winning Quick Pick ticket was purchased on Monday, 12th January, at Applegreen M4 Enfield West, Martinstown, Cadamstown, Co. Kildare.
The winning numbers in the Tuesday, 13th January, draw were: 06, 10, 18, 44, 47 and the Lucky Stars were 02 and 10.
The Kildare winner, who now has a ticket worth €21,858, is advised to sign the back of their ticket and keep it safe. They should make contact with the National Lottery Prize Claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie and arrangements will be made for them to visit Lottery HQ to collect their prize.
Meanwhile, a Kilkenny EuroMillions player was thrilled to visit the Winners Room this week to collect their Match 5 prize from the 12th December draw worth €30,745. Their winning ticket was purchased at Kitty’s Cabin on Rose Inn Street in Kilkenny.
The Kilkenny man popped into the Rose Inn Street shop for a coffee when he decided to purchase a ticket for the Friday night draw.
“It was a few days before I even scanned the ticket and I was in complete shock when I realised what I won. I immediately put the ticket in a cupboard and then rechecked it the next day to make sure it was real and that I didn’t completely imagine it. The first thing I plan to do is book a holiday – that will definitely brighten up January! I am also looking forward to planning a few home renovations too.”
A Dublin syndicate were delighted to claim their unexpected windfall worth €36,287, which they won in the 7th January draw after matching five numbers and the bonus in the midweek Lotto draw. The winning ticket was purchased at the Eason store in the Omni Shopping Centre in Santry, Dublin 9.
“When I got the message ‘You’ve won Big’ after scanning the ticket, I immediately rang Claims. I had no idea how much I could have won. I was thinking it was probably €500 or €1,000. When I heard the amount, I couldn’t believe it. I put the ticket in a jacket where I knew no one would look. I didn’t tell any of the other syndicate members where it was though – maybe next time, I should! I think a celebratory lunch will be the first thing we do!”
A Laois man got a huge surprise after matching five numbers and the bonus in Saturday’s Lotto draw to win €49,071. The winning ticket was purchased at the Tuthills store in Laois Shopping Centre in Portlaoise.
“I hid the ticket at the back of the television in amongst the wires – random, I know, but who would ever think of looking there?! I am looking forward to treating family and friends with the win, that’s for sure!”

Tickets 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.
