In Friday night’s EuroMillions draw, there were two winners of the jackpot, each taking home over €27 million. One winner was from the UK, while the other was from Austria. Alongside these big winners, a number of Irish players also managed to bag substantial prizes.
Over 47,000 players in Ireland won prizes in both the EuroMillions and Plus games. One lucky player matched five numbers correctly and received a prize of €23,184. Another player matched four numbers plus the two Lucky Stars and won €2,222, narrowly missing out on a share of the €54 million jackpot.
Unfortunately, no Irish players won the top prize, but the excitement continues as the EuroMillions jackpot for Tuesday night’s draw is estimated at €16 million.
In the EuroMillions Plus draw, the numbers to watch out for were 07, 38, 42, 46, and 48. While no player managed to match all five numbers, 37 Irish players correctly guessed four numbers and won €2,000 each. Additionally, there were 10 winners of the Ireland only raffle, with each player receiving €5,000.
