Lotto bosses reveal shops where six-figure winning EuroMillions tickets sold as urgent appeal issued

Irish EuroMillions players are being encouraged to check their tickets following Friday’s draws, as two individuals have claimed significant prizes. Over 67,000 people in Ireland won prizes in the various EuroMillions draws held on February 20th.

Significant Wins Across Ireland

The largest Irish win came from a player in County Dublin, who secured a €500,000 jackpot in the EuroMillions Plus draw. The winning numbers were 02, 12, 26, 28, and 41. This win follows a recent streak of luck for Dublin players, marking the third substantial EuroMillions win for the county in the past week.

Did You Know? The winning Quick Pick ticket for the €500,000 prize was purchased at the Centra Drumcondra store located at 32-38 Lower Drumcondra Road in Dublin 9.

Earlier in the week, a player in the Dublin 24 area won €500,000 in Tuesday’s draw, with the ticket purchased at Dunnes Stores in the Square Shopping Centre in Tallaght. Prior to that, on February 13th, another Dublin player won €1,005,000 in a special EuroMillions Ireland Only Raffle.

Cork Player Narrowly Misses Jackpot

A player in Cork also experienced a significant win, matching five numbers and one lucky star to claim €161,198. While they didn’t win the €130 million jackpot, they came remarkably close, missing the top prize by just one number. The winning Quick Pick ticket was purchased at Mace Sallybrook in Glanmire, Co. Cork, on the day of the draw.

Expert Insight: The concentration of recent wins in Dublin and now Cork highlights the unpredictable nature of lottery draws, and underscores the broad geographic distribution of participation across Ireland.

The National Lottery is urging players in both Cork and Dublin to carefully check their tickets. Winners are advised to sign the back of their tickets, keep them secure, and contact the Prize Claims team at 1800 666 222 or via email at [email protected] to arrange prize collection.

As no winner claimed the €130 million jackpot, Tuesday’s EuroMillions jackpot is now estimated to reach €140 million.
