A Dubliner has come forward to the National Lottery to claim an incredible €500,000 prize that they won during the Euromillions plus draw on July 1.
The Dubliner and a player from Cork both won the top prize of €1 million and have shared the jackpot. The Dubliner purchased their winning quick pick ticket at Centra, Bonnington Hotel, Swords Road, Dublin 9 while the Cork player bought their winning ticket at the Lidl store on Mount Argus Road, Churchfield, Co. Cork.
The punters picked up their life-changing prizes at the National Lottery HQ this afternoon and they both wish to keep their win private.

Tuesday’s EuroMillions remains capped at an incredible €230 million which is the largest jackpot amount ever seen in a European lottery.
The jackpot will again remain capped at €230 million for up to one further draw with the additional funds that would have gone to the jackpot now flowing down to the next prize tier with a winner. If the jackpot is still not won after the fifth draw at the cap this Friday, the full value of the jackpot will flow down to the next tier with a prize winner.
A National Lottery spokeswoman urged players who are dreaming of becoming Ireland’s newest multi-millionaire to purchase their tickets early. Tickets can be purchased in-store, through the National Lottery app or at www.lottery.ie ahead of the 7.30pm cut-off time for sales on Tuesday evening.
