Someone in Ireland is €500,000 richer after winning the bumper prize in a Lotto draw on Monday.
The punter scooped the huge cash bonus after winning the top prize in the Daily Million Plus draw.
The winning numbers were 3, 7, 17, 20, 30, 31 and bonus 39.
There was no winner of the main Daily Million jackpot worth €1 million.
The numbers picked were 12, 28, 29, 32, 35, 36 and bonus 34.
It comes as excitement is building again ahead of Wednesday night's record Lotto draw.
The most coveted prize in Irish Lotto history remains up for grabs after Saturday night’s €19.06 million jackpot draw continued to roll without a winner.
Saturday night’s Lotto draw marked the 17th draw at which players had the chance to benefit from additional prize funds rolling down to the next highest tier with a winner from the capped jackpot.
Over 166,000 players across Ireland won prizes in Saturday night’s Lotto and Lotto Plus games including two players from Clare and Donegal who shared the Match 5 + Bonus prize pool worth a cool €914,160.
As no additional funds were added to the capped Lotto jackpot, the funds that would usually go to the jackpot were instead distributed to the next prize tier at which there was a winner and in last night’s draw, this was the Match 5+Bonus category.
The National Lottery are urging players in Ennis in Co Clare and Ballyshannon in Co Donegal to check their tickets carefully after both players matched five numbers and the bonus in last night’s draw to win €457,080 each.
Since the Lotto jackpot reached €19,060,800 on Wednesday, September 29 and the cap came into effect on Saturday, October 2, 183 Lotto players nationwide have now benefited from the prize roll down to the tune of approximately €15 million.
Across the last 17 Lotto draws, players at the Match 5+Bonus and Match 5 tiers have enjoyed boosted prize funds due to the jackpot cap.
Lotto players are being urged to purchase their tickets early before the 7.45pm cut-off on Wednesday.
