Winning EuroMillions tickets traced to Irish shops as urgent appeal launched
The search is on to find two of Ireland's latest EuroMillions winners who just scooped huge prizes in Friday night's draw. While the eye-watering €250 million jackpot went unclaimed and now rolls over to Tuesday - becoming the largest EuroMillions jackpot in history - the pair of Irish winners still have plenty to celebrate after matching five main numbers to win €23,054 each. The winning numbers from the draw were: 20, 21, 29, 30, 35 and Lucky Stars 2 and 12. As both winners have yet to come forward, the National Lottery is issuing a public appeal for all players to check their tickets. To help the search they have revealed that both tickets were purchased in Dublin. The first winner purchased their Quick Pick ticket on May 23 from SuperValu Ballyroan in the Rosemount Shopping Centre, Rathfarnham. The second winner purchased their Quick Pick ticket on the day of the draw from The Natter Day Today Store in Ongar Village. Meanwhile, a Co Kerry player won the Telly Bingo Snowball prize on June 6, worth an incredible €60,019. The winning ticket was sold in Cahill's SuperValu in Ballybunion. Incredibly, this is the second big win for the store this year, after a former post mistress purchased her Quick Pick ticket there and matched 5 numbers in the main Lotto draw on January 8 to claim €30,570. National Lottery spokesperson Darragh O'Dwyer said: "Last night's EuroMillions draw brought fantastic news for two of our players in Dublin, who both scooped a handsome prize of €23,054. While a player in Co Kerry claimed €60,019 Snowball prize in Friday's Telly Bingo game. "We're encouraging all our players to check their tickets 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 these winners plan to celebrate!" With the €250 million jackpot now capped, Tuesday's draw promises to be one of the most thrilling in EuroMillions history. Players are reminded that tickets for Tuesday night's draw can be purchased in-store, through the National Lottery app or at ahead of the 7.30pm cut-off time for sales on Tuesday evening.
