Daily Million player from Dublin becomes 16th National Lottery millionaire in 2026

It was a highly memorable Sunday afternoon for a Daily Million player in Dublin who has scooped the top prize of €1 million.

The ticketholder – who is now the 16th National Lottery millionaire of 2026 – won big in the 2pm draw on July 12, after purchasing a ticket online on Saturday, July 11.

The winning numbers were announced as: 01, 07, 13, 17, 19, 28, and the bonus was 06.

National Lottery spokesperson Sarah Orr said: “What a way to finish the weekend by becoming a millionaire! That’s the reality of an online player in Dublin who won the top prize in the 2pm Daily Million draw on Sunday afternoon.”

Meanwhile, a syndicate from Limerick were thrilled to collect their €15,690 prize after matching five numbers in the EuroMillions draw on 30th June.

The winning ticket was purchased at Centra Monaleen in Castletroy, Limerick.

The individual who purchased the winning ticket said they were “popping in to get fuel” when they decided to “pick up our ticket at the same time.”

“I checked the ticket later that evening and when I saw the ‘You’ve won Big’ message, I immediately assumed it was the €5,000 Raffle prize. It was only when I saw the prize breakdown that I realized I needed to add over €10,000 to that amount.

“I shared the good news with the rest of the syndicate immediately and no one could believe it. Holidays are the big plan for now!”

In total, €7 billion has been raised for Good Causes since the National Lottery was established 39 years ago.

In 2024 alone, €239.3 million was raised for local Good Causes in communities across Ireland.
