Irish punter becomes instant millionaire after EuroMillions draw - and may not even know it

An Irish punter has woken up €1million richer - but they may not even know it.

The most a player in Ireland won in Tuesday's main EuroMillions draw was €236.

And the highest amount a punter scooped in the Plus draw was €2,000.

However, the National Lottery ran an Ireland Only Raffle with a guaranteed €1million up for grabs.

And the player with the raffle code of IHKM23791 on their ticket has become an instant millionaire.

Lotto players must make sure when checking their numbers, to also take note of their raffle code.

Meanwhile, the €48,061,131 jackpot in the main draw was claimed in the UK.

And 10 Irish punters won €5,000 in the Ireland only raffle prize, as nearly 50,000 players across the country won prizes.

The numbers for the main draw were 18, 31, 32, 38 and 48, and the lucky stars were 04, 12. The Plus numbers were 01, 18, 22, 29 and 36.

The National Lottery has been contacted for comment to see where Tuesday's €1million winning ticket was sold.
