The National Lottery has revealed that the winning ticket for Tuesday 12th August’s ‘Ireland Only Raffle’ was a Normal Play ticket which was played on the National Lottery App on Saturday 8th August.

The ‘Ireland Only Raffle’ winning code, found on the winning EuroMillions ticket, is I-JMC-97961.

The National Lottery has confirmed that a notification has been sent to the user’s online account and a separate email has now been sent to the lucky Cork player who is encouraged to get in touch to begin the process of claiming their €1 million euro prize.

A National Lottery spokesperson said: “This is terrific news for one of our lucky EuroMillions players in Cork who has become the 20th National Lottery millionaire in 2020.

In total more than €5.6 Billion has been raised for Good Causes since the National Lottery was established 33 years ago. In 2019 alone, €252 million was raised for local Good Causes in communities across Ireland.
