This is the 13th time a jackpot winning ticket has been sold in Ireland, and the third time this year; in January, for example, someone won €88m.
Of course, the biggest win remains the €115m picked up by Dolores McNamara back in 2005.
Otherwise, there was a €94m win in Dublin in 2013.
Also on Friday, it was announced that a Mayo priest picked up a cool €500K in a EuroMillions draw.
