Lucky punter in Munster scoops €500,000 in EuroMillions draw
A great start to the long weekend
As the weather here in Ireland finally seems to be taking a turn for the better, many people will have been looking forward to the long weekend, and one punter had just about the best start you can ask for.
The top prize in the EuroMillions jackpot is now set to roll towards €50 million, and while nobody claimed the grand prize, one lucky player in Limerick woke up €500,000 richer this morning after claiming the top prize in the EuroMillions Plus draw.
The winning player purchased a Quick Pick ticket at the Crescent Shopping Centre in Dooradoyle, Limerick, on April 29, and lotto bosses have advised them to sign it and keep it safe until they can head up to HQ and collect their prize.
The winner has been asked to contact the prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie to arrange travel to Dublin.
National Lottery spokesperson Sarah Orr said: “What a way to start the month – that’s if you’re a EuroMillions player in Limerick who is now holding a top prize-winning ticket!
“We are encouraging all of our players in the Dooradoyle area who may have purchased their tickets for last night’s draw at Tesco in the Crescent Shopping Centre to carefully check their tickets today as one person has won €500,000. Friday night’s draw saw over 46,000 players in Ireland win prizes across the EuroMillions and Plus draws, with the Limerick player taking the title of biggest winner of the night.”
As there was no winner of the €39,355,091 jackpot on offer in last night’s draw, Tuesday’s jackpot is now set to roll towards an estimated €50 million.
Nearly 30c in every €1 spent on National Lottery games goes back to Good Causes in the areas of sport, youth, health, welfare, education, arts, heritage and the Irish Language.
In total, more than €6.5 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 causes in communities across Ireland.
