Congrats!
In what is possibly one of the best ways to start off a weekend, four people in Ireland managed to strike it rich in last night’s EuroMillions draw.
The overall jackpot in the main EuroMillions draw was worth a staggering €151,876,472, while the EuroMillions Plus had a top prize of €500,000.
The numbers in the main draw were 2, 4, 8, 27, 50 and the lucky stars were 2 and 9.
Although nobody managed to win the grand prize, Irish players where a lot luckier in the EuroMillions Plus draw.
The lucky digits were 11, 18, 22, 30 and 35.
And a staggering four players managed to win the prize – each getting €500,000. The wining tickets were sold in Limerick, Kerry, Sligo and online.
The National Lottery sent their congratulations to the lucky winners last night, confirming that it was a “record-matching” win.

And while nobody managed to win the top prize, there were four lucky players – elsewhere in Europe – who won the match 5 and +1 star.
The EuroMillions Plus, which has a jackpot of €500,000, was just the lucky ticket for one player in Ireland, though.
The digits drawn were 5, 7, 8, 9 and 17 – and there was one overall winner of the top prize.
The National Lottery confirmed last night that the ticket had been sold in the South of the country, and now they’ve given even more details.
The Spar Express in Cahersiveen, Co Kerry was the lucky shop that sold the ticket – and the owners, Jack and Tracy Fitzpatrick, said there has already been plenty of speculation as to who the winner is.
Tracy said:
“We can’t believe it!
“There is huge excitement and buzz in the store today everybody is in great form.
“We are a very busy shop with a lot of passing traffic and we had a bumper summer with tourists so it could be a local or a visitor.
“But we are keeping our fingers crossed it is a local.”
