An online EuroMillions player from Galway scooped €500,000 in Tuesday night's draw and was yesterday informed by email of the big win.
The Galway win was one of two in the west in the same draw, with another €500,000 going to a player in Mayo who has yet to come forward.
That player purchased their ticket from Costcutter, Killala Road, Ballina, Co. Mayo. The winning ticket was purchased from the store on Sunday.
The winning numbers in last night’s EuroMillions Plus draw were 16, 24, 32, 48 and 50.
The National Lottery are advising all players who may have purchased their tickets at the Costcutter store, to carefully check their tickets as one player now has a prize worth €500,000 waiting to be collected. The holder of the winning ticket is advised to sign the back of their ticket and keep it somewhere safe.
Both winners can contact the National Lottery Prize Claims team on 1800 666 222 or email [email protected], and arrangements will be made for them to collect their prize at National Lottery headquarters.
Darragh O’Dwyer, National Lottery spokesperson said Tuesday night proved unforgettable for two EuroMillions Plus players who each scooped an incredible €500,000 in that night’s draw.
"While there was no winner of last night’s EuroMillions jackpot of €26,669,837, more than 37,000 players across Ireland won prizes in Tuesday night’s EuroMillions and EuroMillions Plus draws, with two players now each holding a prize worth €500,000!”
