Better check those tickets.
Last night, a lucky EuroMillions player struck it rich when they won €500,000 in possibly one of the best ways to kick off the weekend.
While nobody won the overall jackpot (which was worth an estimated €49,918,767), someone in Dublin won the EuroMillions Plus top prize.
The lucky winner became the seventh winner of the EuroMillions Plus jackpot in 2019.
The numbers drawn were 20, 23, 27, 33 and 34.
Following the Friday night draw, the National Lottery confirmed that the winning ticket was sold in Dublin.
But on Saturday, they confirmed that the winning Quick Pick ticket was sold at the Mace Store on Muckross Avenue in Perrystown.
Shop owner Sean Mooney told The Irish Sun:
“This is fantastic news. Perrystown is a small, tight-knit community and we have a strong local trade so it may be one of our regular customers.
“Our last big win was €250,000 a few years ago so we are delighted to have doubled that on this occasion!”
The news comes a few weeks after the last big EuroMillions Plus win, which took place on March 19.
The numbers drawn were 5, 16, 41, 47 and 50.
The lucky Quick Pick ticket was sold on March 19 at Circle K on the Beaumont Road in Dublin 9.
A spokesperson for the National Lottery said at the time:
“It has been a blistering start to the year for our EuroMillions players in Ireland.
“This is the 6 top prize win of €500,000 in the EuroMillions Plus game on top of the record breaking €175 million jackpot which was won by a lucky North Dublin family in February.
“We are encouraging anybody who purchased their ticket at the Circle K service station in Beaumont to carefully check their ticket and if it is the winner, be sure to sign the back of the ticket and contact our prize claims team on 01 836 4444 and we will make arrangements for you to claim your prize.”
