Two Irish players win huge prizes in the €50 million EuroMillions draw

The EuroMillions jackpot was worth €50 million tonight.

And two people in Ireland will be starting the weekend off in an unforgettable way, after their lucky numbers came up in the draw.

The winning digits in the main draw were 9, 14, 21, 32, 44 and the Lucky Stars were 1 and 12.

Nobody ultimately walked away with the jackpot, though two players (sadly, not in Ireland) managed to get the Match 5 + 1 Stars prize of €596,941.

But two Irish players did strike it rich in the EuroMillions Plus draw.

The lucky digits – 4, 8 10, 17 and 28 – meant that two players (or syndicates!) will each be €500,000 richer as they start the weekend.

According to the National Lottery, the winning tickets were sold in Dublin and the South.

Meanwhile, 10 plays saw their numbers come up in the Ireland-only raffle.

The numbers that won the €5,000 prize are:

I-DKV-19912
I-DLB-78265
I-DLB-97698
I-DLC-15766
I-DLC-61470
I-DLF-30843
I-DLG-56235
I-DLJ-55588
I-DLJ-80897
I-DLJ-96106

It comes as five Irish players won big in the mammoth €175 million EuroMillions draw late last month.

And while there was initially a bit of a wait on the results, it looks like Irish players really struck it rich in the draw.

The numbers for the main draw were: 10, 17, 18, 28, 47 and the lucky stars were 3 and 7.

The two tickets that won the top prize were sold in Spain and the UK.

Meanwhile, four players in Ireland had every reason to celebrate as they began the weekend after winning the top EuroMillions Plus prize.

The lucky numbers for the draw were: 15, 33, 37, 39 and 48.

According to the National Lottery, the tickets were sold in the east, south and the midlands.

A further 25 EuroMillions players won big last night, after the EuroMillions Raffle draw saw each one scoop up €1 million.

 And one ticket brought a lot of luck to one player in Cork, after they purchased the winning ticket at a Eason store in the Wilton Shopping Centre.

The winning raffle number was I-DKB-06633.
