ONE LUCKY Limerick person woke up this morning to the decidedly life changing news that they had won €1million.
An online National Lottery player from County Limerick woke up this morning €1million richer, having won big in Friday night’s EuroMillions draw. The lucky Limerick lad or lady has become the 26th National Lottery millionaire this year so far.
The winner, who may have yet to discover their life changing win, had the ‘Ireland Only Raffle’ code I-PPB-77670 worth €1,005,000.
According to the National Lottery, there were no winners of Friday’s €39million jackpot, meaning that this coming Tuesday’s jackpot will roll over to a whopping €50million. However, Limerick’s newest millionaire will be joined today in celebration by a EuroMillions Plus draw winner of €500,000.
The €500,000 winning ticket was sold at the Applegreen service station in Millenium Park in Naas, County Kildare, but so far the identity of the winner is unknown.
“With over 57,000 prize winners in Ireland in Friday night’s EuroMillions draw, the National Lottery has urged players nationwide to check their tickets and online accounts carefully to see if they are one of the big winners,” a representative of the National Lottery said.
“Both of the big winners from the draw should contact the National Lottery Prize Claim team on 1800 666 222 or email [email protected] and arrangements will be made for the prize to be claimed.”
“Nearly 30 cent in every €1 spent on all 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 €6billion has been raised for good causes since the National Lottery was established 35 years ago. In 2021 alone, €304 million was raised for local Good Causes in communities across Ireland,” a statement from the National Lottery concluded.
