EuroMillions results: Lucky Irish punter €500,000 richer after hitting jackpot in Plus draw

A lucky Irish punter is €500,000 richer after Tuesday's EuroMillions draw.

The Lotto player will claim the monster prize after matching all five numbers in the Plus draw.

The National Lottery has confirmed the winning ticket was sold in Co Donegal.

The winning numbers for the draw were 5, 16, 20, 44 and 47.

There was €125million up for grabs in the main draw, however, the top prize was not claimed.

A player in Ireland was agonisingly close to scooping it though, after coming up one number short.

A Lotto spokesman said: "There was no winner of the EuroMillions jackpot.

"In total, over 72,000 players in Ireland won prizes including one winner of the Match 5 + one Lucky Star prize receiving €163,574."
