The numbers for Tuesday night's EuroMillions draw were: 13, 22, 23, 44, 49, and the two Lucky Stars were 3 and 5.
In addition to the main EuroMillions jackpot, Tuesday night also brought riches to a EuroMillions Plus player in Co Wicklow, after they successfully matched all five winning numbers to secure the top prize of €500,000.
The Plus player purchased their Quick Pick ticket on the day of the draw, from Selskar Bookshop, Townparks, Co Wexford.
The numbers for Tuesday night's EuroMillions Plus draw were: 11, 19, 30, 39 and 50.

Winning ticket in 250 million euro jackpot sold in Munster
The winning ticket in the 250 million euro EuroMillions jackpot was sold in Munster, the National Lottery has confirmed. A spokesperson said on Wednesday that the ticket was bought in a retail store. The single-ticket holder scooped the 250 million euro win in Tuesday's draw. The winning numbers in the draw, which had rolled over several times, were 13, 22, 23, 44 and 49, with lucky stars 3 and 5. This will be Ireland's 18th winner of the EuroMillions jackpot and its largest win. By Wednesday afternoon, the winner has not yet come forward. In an online post, the Irish National Lottery said: 'We can reveal the province where the 250 million euro winning ticket was sold… MUNSTER. Check those EuroMillions tickets.' National Lottery spokesperson Emma Monaghan told RTE Radio: 'Someone in Ireland is a quarter of a billion euro richer this morning.' She said the ticket for the 'eye-watering prize' was bought in a retail store. 'If at all possible stay calm, I know that might be easier said than done. Have a cup of tea and let it sink in.' The EuroMillions jackpot was capped once it hit 250 million euro – or £208 million on current exchange rates. The maximum amount was reached on Friday June 6 with several rollover draws since then where no one matched the five main numbers and two lucky stars. In total, more than 92,000 players in Ireland won prizes in the EuroMillions and Plus games. The last Irish winner of the EuroMillions jackpot was in February 2022, when a person won 30.9 million euro with a quick pick ticket they purchased at a service station in Ballina, Co Tipperary.

Adviser reveals what happens after you win a major lottery prize
Less than 20 individuals in the UK have won lottery prizes exceeding £100 million. Andy Carter, a Winner's Adviser at Allwyn, the National Lottery operator, serves as the primary contact for major jackpot winners and says people have spent their money on taking their pets on private jets or having a celebrity chef cook Christmas lunch. Carter's initial advice to winners is to take time off and allow the reality of their substantial lump-sum winnings to settle in, as it can be overwhelming. Winners receive comprehensive support, including legal, financial, and well-being advice, and are connected with other lottery winners for peer guidance. While many envision extravagant spending, winners often make more conservative financial decisions, and Allwyn provides a concierge service for fulfilling 'bucket list' experiences.
