The National Lottery has urged EuroMillions players in Cavan to check their tickets - as last night's draw saw one lucky person become €500,000 richer after the EuroMillions Plus jackpot was scooped.
The winning ticket was purchased on Wednesday at the Daybreak on the Dublin Road in Kingscourt, Co. Cavan.
The winning EuroMillions Plus numbers for last night’s (Friday 9th July) draw were: 01, 08, 13, 38, 40.
The National Lottery has advised the winning ticket holder to sign the back of their ticket and to get in touch with the Nationl Lottery claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie and arrangements will be made for them to claim their prize.
Store Manager Paul Kelly was delighted to hear the good news:
"This is the biggest prize amount that we have ever sold so there’s lots of excitement in our store today.
"Before last night’s win, the largest prize amount that we had was just over €265,000 for a Match 5 + 1 Lucky star prize in August of last year.
"We have quite a lot of local customers who come into us regularly so it’s great to think that someone in the community may have come in to a nice bit of luck this weekend. We are all delighted for the lucky winner and wish them all the best with their win.”
While there was no winner of last night’s €17 million EuroMillions jackpot, over 50,000 players in Ireland won prizes across the EuroMillions and EuroMillions Plus games. Tuesday’s (13th July) jackpot is now set to roll to an estimated €25 million.
