The National Lottery has revealed that the winner of the whopping Euromillions jackpot of almost €50 million has been sold in Leinster.
EuroMillions players in the Leinster area are being asked to check their online accounts and emails today after Lotto chiefs confirmed that the winner of Tuesday night’s €49,564,587 EuroMillions jackpot was an online player.
The National Lottery has confirmed that a notification to the user’s online account and a separate email has now been sent to the lucky ticketholder who is encouraged to get in touch to begin the process of claiming their life-altering prize.
A Lotto spokesperson said: “This lucky ticketholder in Leinster has woken up this morning to an email to confirm that they are the lucky winner of last night’s €49.5 million EuroMillions jackpot.
"We are still waiting to hear from this winner so we are encouraging all of our online user’s in Leinster to check their accounts and emails and if they are the winner, to get in touch so we can officially begin the prize claims process.
"€49.5 million really is a life changing sum of money so we will be carefully guiding this winner through this prize claims process over the course of the coming weeks to ensure that they are fully prepared when claiming this massive prize.”
The winning ticket was a €2.50 Normal Play selection, meaning that the lucky player selected their own winning numbers to scoop this win of a lifetime.
The winning numbers are: 14, 15, 24, 29, 42 and the Lucky Stars are 02, 04.
The National Lottery has also begun the process of drawing down the jackpot funds from the other nine participating lotteries in the EuroMillions community and expects to be in a position to be able to pay out the monster prize next week.
This is the second EuroMillions jackpot win in Ireland this year and is the 16th time the jackpot has been won in Ireland since the EuroMillions game began in 2004.
