Urgent appeal issued to EuroMillions players after punter bags life-changing sum
Irish EuroMillions players are being urged to check their tickets this morning after one lucky punter landed a life-changing six-figure prize in Tuesday night's draw. In total over 59,000 players in Ireland won prizes in last night's EuroMillions and Plus games, including one lucky punter who won a whopping €255,000 after claiming Ireland's eighth EuroMillions Ireland Only Raffle top prize. The Drogheda player was one of 10 winners of the Ireland-Only Raffle in Tuesday's draw. And while that prize is usually worth €5,000, the National Lottery has added an additional prize of €250,000 for one winner of the Ireland-Only Raffle for all nine EuroMillions draws during the month of May. The National Lottery has confirmed that the winning Quick Pick ticket was purchased on the day of the draw from Applegreen on Newfoundwell Road in Greenbatter, Drogheda, Co. Louth. The all-important winning raffle number is I-SDL-14299. Lotto bosses are urging all players in the Drogheda area to check their tickets carefully and if you're holding the winning ticket, be sure to contact the National Lottery prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@ to arrange the collection of your prize. Emma Monaghan, National Lottery spokesperson, said: 'While there was no winner of last night's EuroMillions jackpot worth €198,011,279, over 59,000 players in Ireland won prizes in the EuroMillions and EuroMillions plus games. "This includes one Raffle Ticket winner: I-SDL-14299 from Drogheda, Co. Louth, who's just scooped a life-enhancing €255,000 in our EuroMillions 'Ireland Only Raffle' special draw." Throughout May, EuroMillions players in Ireland have the chance to win an additional €250,000. This series of special EuroMillions Ireland Only Raffles guarantees players a top up in the prize fund for all nine draws, every Tuesday and Friday, throughout the month. Typically, every EuroMillions draw produces ten winners of the €5,000 Ireland-Only Raffle prize. But this month, one winner in each draw is in line to win a dazzling €250,000 on top of the usual €5,000 Raffle prize. With past winners from Dublin (4), Meath, Limerick, Wicklow, and now Louth, excitement is building head of the final special draw on Friday which will see one more player land the mega €250,000 prize.

Samsung is cranking out more Galaxy S25s to dodge possible Trump tariffs
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Samsung is fast-tracking Galaxy S25 production, adding 800,000 more units this May, mostly the Ultra model. There are 1.5 million units planned for the S25 Ultra, with the regular S25 and Plus at 1.3 million and 500,000, respectively. Samsung is racing to ship these units before the Trump administration could impose tariffs on smartphones, though the government hasn't confirmed this. Samsung isn't waiting around to see what Washington cooks up next. The company is firing up production lines to crank out an extra 800,000 Galaxy S25s this month, with a big focus on the top-tier S25 Ultra. Korean outlet The Elec reports that Samsung is hitting the gas on smartphone production (via Android Authority). The company has reportedly told suppliers that it is aiming to build 15.8 million smartphones, including 3.3 million Galaxy S25 units, up from 2.5 million last month. For May's Galaxy S25 lineup, Samsung is putting the spotlight on the Ultra, with 1.5 million units in the pipeline. The regular S25 follows with 1.3 million, and the Plus rounds things out with 500,000. Lately, talk around tariffs and trade rules has been heating up, indicating major shifts in how imports are handled in the U.S. In response, companies are raising prices, moving production around, and rushing shipments to beat any new deadlines. At the moment, there's a 90-day window giving companies a breather from these tariffs, and Samsung is wasting no time. The company is clearly trying to get as much out the door as possible before the break ends and the costs kick in. The real headache with the whole tariff mess is how unpredictable it is. After months of trade tension bubbling over, we've seen some serious tariffs hit, especially targeting Asian countries that do a lot of the world's manufacturing. Some of these charges are light-ish at 10%, but others skyrocket up to a wild 145% on certain Chinese goods. That kind of rollercoaster makes it nearly impossible for companies to plan ahead. When the rules keep shifting with no warning, it's less about smart strategy and more about staying on your toes. Samsung's current scramble to pump out and ship devices while the coast is clear is a classic example. Right now, Samsung devices are still in the clear. But with trade rules changing at the drop of a hat, playing it safe makes a lot of sense. According to The Elec, Samsung is aiming to roll out a hefty 16.2 million smartphones and tablets this May alone.
