EuroMillions player in Limerick kicks their month off with a €500,000 win

A EuroMillions player in Limerick has gotten the month of May off to a memorable start after winning the top prize of €500,000 in last night’s Plus draw.

The Treaty County player scooped their incredible prize after purchasing their Quick Pick ticket on Wednesday 29th April at Tesco in the Crescent Shopping Centre, Dooradoyle, Co. Limerick.

The winning numbers for the Friday 1st May EuroMillions Plus draw were: 12, 37, 38, 49, 50.

The winner is advised to sign the back of their ticket and keep it safe. They should make contact with the Prize Claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie and arrangements will be made for them to visit Lottery Headquarters.

National Lottery spokesperson Sarah Orr said: “What a way to start the month – that’s if you’re a EuroMillions player in Limerick who is now holding a top prize-winning ticket! We are encouraging all of our players in the Dooradoyle area who may have purchased their tickets for last night’s draw at Tesco in the Crescent Shopping Centre to carefully check their tickets today as one person has won €500,000. Friday night’s draw saw over 46,000 players in Ireland win prizes across the EuroMillions and Plus draws with the Limerick player taking the title of biggest winner of the night.”

As there was no winner of the €39,355,091 Jackpot on offer in last night’s draw, Tuesday’s Jackpot is now set to roll towards an estimated €50 Million.
