EuroMillions Ireland winning ticket location revealed as life-changing prize won

An Irish shop has confirmed it sold the life-changing €500,000 top prize in Tuesday night's EuroMillions Plus.

The jackpot winning ticket was sold at the Corrib Oil shop in Castlerea.

The winning numbers for the main draw were 12, 17, 21, 34, 38 with the lucky stars of 02, 03.

Manager of the lucky shop Keith Gallagher said that the win will be extra sweet just days before Christmas.

He told Midwest Radio: "Absolutely we're delighted, couldn't happen at a better time of year with Christmas just around the corner."

However he explained that whoever won the top prize may not be a local: "We do get a lot of passing traffic but whoever got it, we just hope they needed it."

And finally Mr Gallagher revealed that it is not the first time the lucky shop has sold a golden ticket.

He added: "We've had a €500,000 win before I started with the company so we're fairly lucky in that respect. I'm sure everyone is trying to figure out who won it."

It's the second major jackpot win in the last week for Irish EuroMillions players after last Friday's draw saw the EuroMillions Plus jackpot go to a Mayo punter.

The win comes ahead of Wednesday evening's Lotto draw, which will see the record-breaking €19.06 million top prize go up for grabs yet again.
