An Irish punter is €500,000 richer after Friday night's EuroMillions draw.
The winner, who bought their ticket in Co Kildare, scooped the top prize in the EuroMillions Plus draw.
Numbers drawn on the night were 14, 44, 47, 49 and 50.
There was no winner of the main jackpot draw which stood at €30,434,021.
It comes as an Applegreen customer became the first official National Lottery millionaire of 2022 after winning the top prize of €1 million.
The winning Quick Pick ticket was sold on the day of the draw at the Applegreen M4 Enfield Westbound Service Station in Martinstown, Cadamstown, Co. Kildare.
Site Manager Ella Tyrala was delighted to hear that one of their customers has become the biggest winner of the year so far: “This is great news to get during the first week of the year! We are delighted that one of our customers has now officially become a millionaire. The entire team was over the moon when we received the news from the National Lottery. We hope that the lucky winner checks their ticket soon and enjoys their life-changing win.”
