Meath's Online Player Takes Home €255,000 in Last Night’s EuroMillions Ireland Only Raffle!

The second of nine GUARANTEED players to take home an additional €250,000 in the EuroMillions Ireland Only Raffle event this month has been won. An online player from Co. Meath is discovering they are €255,000 richer this morning, following last night’s draw (Tuesday, 6th May).

In addition to the usual €5,000 Raffle prize, the Meath player received an additional prize of €250,000, bringing their total winnings to €255,000.

The winning ticket, which was purchased on the day of the draw using the player's own numbers, had the raffle number I-SBG-62584.

Throughout May, EuroMillions players in Ireland have the chance to win an additional €250,000. With seven more prizes of €250,000 to be won, and previous winners from Dublin and now Meath, the excitement builds as we wonder where the next winner will come 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.

Emma Monaghan, a spokesperson for the National Lottery, commented on the win “While there was no winner of the EuroMillions Jackpot last night, over 43,000 players in Ireland won prizes in the EuroMillions and Plus games. This includes one Raffle Ticket Winner: I-SBG-62584 of the 'Ireland Only Raffle' special draw, who received €255,000. We’re now encouraging all our online players in Meath to check their accounts today to see if they’re our latest big winner. It’s always exciting to see players winning life-enhancing prizes, and we can’t wait to hear how this one plans to celebrate!”

The National Lottery has confirmed that a notification and an email has been sent to the online player. The winner is advised to make contact 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 in Lottery Headquarters.
