National Lottery to make five new millionaires in Ireland over two weeks with special draws
One lucky EuroMillions player in Dublin got their weekend started with a top prize win of €500,000 in last night’s EuroMillions Plus draw. The winning Quick Pick ticket was purchased in the Spar shop on the Clogher Road in Crumlin, Dublin 12.
The winning EuroMillions Plus numbers for last night’s (Friday 6th August) draw were: 06, 11, 31, 32, 44.
The winning ticket holder is advised to sign the back of their ticket, which is now worth €500,000, and to get in touch with the National Lottery prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie and arrangements will be made for them to claim their prize.
Store Manager Hasiz Abdullah shared his delight at hearing the news: “We’re a small shop within a local community so it’s great to hear that one of our customers has had this big life-changing moment. It’s great news for the area as well so I am sure there will be lots of excitement when word gets out. I wish the winner all the best with their big win – we’re all so happy for them!”
While there was no winner of last night’s €84,880,433 EuroMillions jackpot, over 64,000 players in Ireland won prizes across the EuroMillions and EuroMillions Plus games.
Tuesday night’s (10th August) jackpot is now set to roll to an estimated €95 million. On the same night, the National Lottery will begin a series of special EuroMillions ‘Ireland Only Raffle’ events which are set to make five people brand new millionaires over the two weeks from 10th – 20th August. These raffle events mean that there will be one guaranteed winner of €1 million in each EuroMillions draw on Tuesday 10th August, Friday 13th August and Tuesday 17th August. This Ireland Only Raffle event will come to a dramatic close on Friday 20th August when not one, but two EuroMillions players in Ireland will win a life changing €1 million each.
Nearly 30 cent in every €1 spent on all National Lottery games goes back to Good Causes in the areas of sport, youth, health, welfare, education, arts, heritage, and the Irish Language. Since the National Lottery was established 34 years ago, €6 billion has been raised for Good Causes. In 2020 alone, €254 million was raised for local Good Causes in communities across Ireland.
