Lotto Ireland: Lucky punter becomes newest millionaire as Daily Million top prize won

Ireland has got a new millionaire after Thursday night's Daily Million draw was won.

The 9pm draw on Thursday saw one lucky punter match the six magic numbers to take the seven-figure jackpot.

The winning numbers were:

4, 7, 11, 19, 22, 37 and a bonus ball of 31.

The location of the winning ticket will become clear in the next couple of days.

But it's safe to say that one person has now changed their life with the windfall.

It comes as the domestic Lotto jackpot remains at a record-breaking €19.06 million ahead of Saturday evening's draw.

The benefit of the mega winnings not being grabbed just yet is that players continue to have an even better chance at landing up to €1 million in cash prizes.

New rules brought in in recent weeks mean you can match fewer numbers and still win huge cash prizes.

As the jackpot is capped at just over €19 million, this means that no additional money can be added until it is won.

The funds that would normally go to the jackpot instead will be distributed to the next prize tier at which there are winners.

For example, if there is a winner or winners at the Match 5 + Bonus tier, the additional funds will be allocated to this tier.
