Winning Irish locations of two life-changing EuroMillions prizes confirmed
Two Irish EuroMillions players are waking up significantly wealthier on Saturday morning after claiming huge six-figure prizes in Friday night's draw.
The National Lottery has revealed that two players, one based in Limerick and the other in Kildare, each claimed a whopping €500,000 in the EuroMillions Plus draw after matching all five numbers.
In Limerick, the winning punter purchased their ticket on the day of the day from Day Today in New Line, Rathkeale, while in Kildare, the lucky ticketholder purchased a Quick Pick ticket on the day of the draw online.
The winning numbers in last night's EuroMillions Plus draw were: 10, 34, 37, 38 and 43. Players in Limerick are being urged to check their tickets, while an email notification has been sent to the Kildare player.
If you happen to be the holder of a winning ticket, you can contact the National Lottery prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@ to arrange the collection of your prize.
While the two EuroMillions Plus winners claimed big prizes, nobody claimed the biggest prize of all, which was worth €232,174,804 on Friday night. This means that, not for the first time this summer, the EuroMillions jackpot is set to reach its cap of €250 million this coming Tuesday (19 August).
And, in case you needed reminding, the last time that happened, the biggest possible jackpot was won in Ireland as recently as June.
Prior to the next EuroMillions draw, meanwhile, Saturday's National Lottery jackpot is worth a cool €15.5 million and players are reminded that tickets for the draw can be purchased in-store, through the National Lottery app or at ahead of the 7.45pm cut off.
Emma Monaghan, National Lottery spokesperson, said: 'Huge congratulations to our EuroMillions Plus winners in Co. Limerick and Co. Kildare, who have each won €500,000 – a fantastic start to their weekends! While there was no winner of the EuroMillions jackpot worth €232,174,804, in total, over 70,000 players in Ireland won prizes in the EuroMillions and Plus games.'
