Get checking those tickets.

It's set to be a very good weekend for one Euromillions player. Someone has woken up half a million euro richer this morning after last night's draw. The winner, who bought their ticket in the Midlands, scooped €500,000 in the PLUS draw. There was no winner of the overall draw, where there was a jackpot of €27,914,266 up for grabs. A few more Irish people also came away with a win - there were ten winners of€5,000 in the Ireland Only raffle. The winning numbers in the main draw were 02, 15, 40, 43 and 46, and the lucky stars were: 03, 06. The PLUS draw winning numbers were 18, 21, 22, 24 and 36. The Midlands is proving a lucrative spot for big money wins this week. One lucky punter picked up €250,000 on a ticket bought at Supervalu in Abbeyleix in Co Laois on Wednesday. Meanwhile, a Meath woman who bought a scratch card at a petrol station in order to use to the toilet this week is now €50,000 better off. The woman collected the winnings from her €5 All Cash Platinum scratch card from Lotto HQ yesterday. "I rarely buy scratch cards but I only had a fiver in my pocket and thought I would buy one," she said. "I scratched the card when I got back into the car and simply could not believe my luck!"
