Donegal celebrates its third big National Lottery prize in seven days with €119,361 win in Friday’s EuroMillions Draw

Donegal's third big National Lottery prize in seven days with €119,361 win in EuroMillions

Latest Donegal winner was one number short of scooping €142 million EuroMillions jackpot which continues to roll

EuroMillions players in Ballyshannon in south Donegal have this morning been asked to check their tickets after Friday night’s draw produced a Match 5 + Lucky Star winner of €119,361. The Donegal player matched five numbers and one lucky star number, meaning that they were one lucky star number (from 1-12) short of winning the incredible €142 million EuroMillions jackpot on offer.

The winning Quick Pick ticket was sold at Pearse O’Neill’s store in Bridge End in Ballyshannon on Thursday 27th August.

The winning EuoMillions Plus numbers are: 07, 12, 16, 17, 31 and the Lucky Stars were 07 & 09.

Incredibly, this is the third big National Lottery win to hit Donegal in the space of a week. Last Saturday’s €2.4 million Lotto jackpot was sold at Harris’ service station in Convoy in east Donegal while just last Tuesday (25th August) another EuroMillions Plus top prize of €500,000 was sold at Gallagher’s Foodstore in the Gaeltacht village of Derrybeg in Gweedore.

There was no winner of Friday night’s €142 million jackpot prize which now rolls to a mega €155 million on Tuesday (1st September). The jackpot has been rolling ever since a lucky online player in Dublin scooped the massive €49.5 million on Tuesday 21st July.

Want to share that winning feeling? Play Lotto. Tonight’s jackpot is an estimated €2.5 million. Play in store, on the National Lottery App or online by 7:45pm by this evening for your chance to win.

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. In total more than €5.6 Billion has been raised for Good Causes since the National Lottery was established 32 years ago. In 2019 alone, €250 million was raised for local Good Causes in communities across Ireland.
