Drum Roll Please! Player from Killester in Dublin Wins €255,000 in first EuroMillions Ireland Only Raffle Event!

The first of 9 GUARANTEED players to take home an additional €250,000 in the EuroMillions Ireland Only Raffle event this month has been won. Last night (Friday, 2nd May), the first player to win this fantastic prize hails from County Dublin. In addition to the usual €5,000 Raffle prize, the Dublin player has received an additional prize of €250,000, resulting in total winnings of €255,000.

The Dublin player purchased their Quick Pick ticket on 29th April from Supervalu Killester, Howth Road, Dublin 3. The all-important winning raffle number is I-RZR-24209.

For the entirety of the month of May, EuroMillions players in Ireland will have the chance to win a massive €250,000. With 8 more prizes of €250,000 to be won, where will the next winner hail 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.

Following last week’s success in the Leinster Football Championship, County Meath has returned another win, this time in the EuroMillions Plus draw, with a player from the Royal County scooping the Top Prize of €500,000.

The Meath player purchased their ticket on the day of the draw from Mace Wilkinstown, Navan, Co. Meath.
The winning numbers in last night’s (Friday, 2nd May) EuroMillions Plus draw were: 5, 30, 31, 37 and 40.
