Every Irish EuroMillions winner as jackpot reaches all-time high of €220 million

The National Lottery has urged punters to get their tickets for the EuroMillions draw on Tuesday evening - as the jackpot has reached an all-time high.

The draw tonight will be worth an eye-watering €220 million.

If one person scoops the life-changing amount, they will instantly become richer than a number of high-profile names, including singers Adele and Chris Martin

The EuroMillions jackpot will be capped after the €220m total

If no one claims the winnings on Tuesday, the jackpot stays at €220m for a further four draws.

It must be won in the fifth draw, and if no ticket matches all five main numbers and two Lucky Stars, it rolls down into the prize tier where there is at least one winner.

That could result in many people finding themselves as multimillionaires.

As the main draw approaches, here is a list of Ireland's luckiest jackpot winners.

  • July 2005: Dolores McNamara from Limerick, was Ireland’s first EuroMillions winner scooping over €115million.
  • July 2008: A lucky player from Co Tipperary won a €15 million jackpot with a ticket bought in Carrick-on-Suir in Co Tipperary.

The winners were revealed just a day later after they quickly got in touch with Irish National Lottery officials to stake their claim to the €175.4 million prize. They had kept the ticket in an Argos catalogue under the mattress overnight, and described the win as a "dream come true".
