It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas for one Irish EuroMillions player who scooped an incredible €17 million jackpot in last night’s draw (December 12).
The winning ticket matched five numbers and two Lucky Stars, making this a life-changing festive surprise.
The National Lottery has confirmed that the winning ticket was sold in a retail store in the Ulster region, with more details to be announced in the coming days.
This is the second time this year that an Irish player has won the EuroMillions jackpot, following the historic €250 million win in June – the largest National Lottery jackpot prize ever.
The numbers in last night’s main EuroMillions draw were: 7, 25, 30, 37, 41 and the Lucky Stars were 5 and 11.
The numbers in last night’s EuroMillions Plus draw were: 11, 16, 31, 35 and 38.
National Lottery spokesperson, Emma Monaghan, shared, “We are absolutely thrilled to announce that an Irish player has won the €17 million EuroMillions jackpot in last night’s draw.
“This is the second EuroMillions jackpot won in Ireland this year, following the historic €250 million win in June. We’re encouraging all players to check their tickets very carefully. If you are the winner, sign the back of your ticket and keep it somewhere safe.
“We’ll reveal more details about the winning location in the coming days.”
