Two Irish players land huge prizes in biggest ever EuroMillions draw
There may have been no winner of what was the largest EuroMillions jackpot ever seen in Ireland - worth a whopping €250 million - on Friday night, but a number of Irish players still have plenty of reasons to celebrate. EuroMillions players were in with a chance of landing the eye-watering €250 million jackpot after no player scooped Tuesday's top prize. While the mammoth sum went unclaimed, two Irish players still managed to bag huge five-figure prizes in tonight's draw. The numbers called in Friday's main EuroMillions draw were: 20, 21, 29, 30, 35 and the Lucky Stars were 02, 12. While no players managed to match all five numbers plus the two lucky stars to scoop the quarter of a billion euro prize, two players in Ireland won the Match 5 prize to pocket a cool €23,054 each. Three Irish players did come agonisingly close to scooping Friday's jaw dropping €250 million jackpot after matching four numbers plus two lucky stars, meaning they were just one correct number away from becoming Ireland's newest millionaire. While the trio may have missed out on the huge cash windfall, they still landed a decent chunk of change after scooping the 4 + 2 Stars to win €1,306 apiece. Meanwhile, the numbers to look out for in Friday's EuroMillions draw were: 2, 3, 33, 44 and 45. While no players in Ireland managed to bag the €500,000 jackpot on offer in this draw, 104 players did win €2,000 each after matching four correct numbers. There were also 10 winners of the Ireland Only raffle, who snapped up €5,000 each in Friday's EuroMillions draw. The winning raffle ticket numbers were: In total, over 100,000 players in Ireland won prizes in Friday's EuroMillions and Plus games and the two lucky punters who bagged €23,054 each are advised to make contact with the National Lottery prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@ to arrange the collection of their prizes.

‘It's absolutely the best time to highlight the benefits of emigration to the US – Trump says he is all for legal immigration'
Thousands who got Morrison visas in the 1990s are showing their gratitude to the politician who made it happen, says businesswoman Elaine Brennan Today at 21:30 Elaine Brennan was in London in 1994 when her mother phoned to say she'd won the lottery. Not the Lotto, you understand, although almost as lucrative and life-changing. It was the lottery for Morrison visas, which allowed about 45,000 Irish people to live and work in the United States at a time when the economy here was ailing. 'There was almost 20pc unemployment,' Brennan recalls. 'I remember looking at job applications, and the only one I could get an interview for was washing dishes in a hotel in Ennis, and that was with a science degree.'
