Within an Instant! Three online game players celebrate prize wins totalling €180,000 at National Lottery HQ!

Three National Lottery online players from Offaly, Louth and Dublin are celebrating after collecting prizes totalling €180,000 from recent online instant win games.

The winning players visited National Lottery HQ in recent weeks after playing a range of online games through their National Lottery accounts, with each describing the unforgettable moment their prizes appeared on screen.

An online player from Co. Offaly was the biggest winner of the group, collecting an €80,000 prize after landing the top prize in the Hand to Hand Clash online instant win game.

“I still can’t believe this is happening! I was playing the online game and initially thought I had won €20,000, which I was over the moon with. Then I unveiled the x4 feature and realised I had won €80,000. My partner thought something was wrong with me, I was speechless and didn’t know what to say. I couldn’t find the words to tell him what had happened! I have a home renovations list as long as my arm, so that’s how I hope to spend my prize.”

A Louth player also had an unforgettable online win after taking home €50,000 in the National Lottery’s Digital Mega Money Multiplier online instant win game. The player was shocked to see the €50,000 prize appear on screen.

“I honestly didn’t know what was going on at first! When the €50,000 prize appeared I panicked, hoping the app hadn’t crashed. It was such a shock at first, but after a short while, it finally started to sink in.”

“The first thing I thought was ‘I can buy a new lawn mower!’ We’re planning to renovate our back garden and we’re really looking forward to hosting plenty of outdoor get togethers. What a week to win with the sun shining! We’re also looking forward to surprising our family with a holiday.”

A Dublin man rounded off the group of online winners after scooping €50,000 while playing the Cashbubble online instant win game. The player had been wrapping up work on a Monday evening when he decided to buy a EuroMillions ticket online. With leftover change in his National Lottery account, he went on to play Cashbubble and was shocked to see the €50,000 prize appear on screen.

“It was just a normal Monday evening and I decided to buy a EuroMillions ticket online. I had money left in my National Lottery account, so I went to play Cashbubble and I just couldn’t believe my eyes. I shared the news with my family and friends straight away, but I’m still in shock. It’s less than 24 hours since the win, so it still hasn’t fully sunk in. I’m going to enjoy a holiday in the near future to celebrate.”

Meanwhile, tomorrow’s EuroMillions jackpot is an estimated €90 million. Players dreaming of winning big are reminded that tickets can be purchased nationwide in-store, through the National Lottery app or online at www.lottery.ie ahead of the 7.30pm cut-off time for sales tomorrow evening.

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.
