Imagine waking up to discover you’re €17 million richer—that’s exactly what happened to one lucky player in Ulster, Northern Ireland, who just hit the EuroMillions jackpot. But here’s where it gets even more exciting: this marks the second time this year that Ireland has claimed a EuroMillions prize, following the jaw-dropping €250 million win in June. Could Ireland be on a winning streak? Let’s dive into the details.
The winning ticket, purchased in the Ulster region, matched all five main numbers—7, 25, 30, 37, and 41—along with the two Lucky Stars, 5 and 11. National Lottery spokesperson Emma Monaghan expressed her excitement: 'We’re thrilled to announce another Irish EuroMillions winner this year. It’s a life-changing moment for someone, and we’re urging everyone to check their tickets carefully.' If you’re the lucky winner, remember to sign the back of your ticket and keep it secure—details about the exact winning location will be revealed soon.
And this is the part most people miss: while the €17 million jackpot stole the spotlight, there were other big winners too. An online player in County Limerick snagged the €500,000 top prize in the EuroMillions Plus draw, with winning numbers 11, 16, 31, 35, and 38. Meanwhile, a player in County Kilkenny walked away with €30,745 after matching five numbers in the main draw. Their Quick Pick ticket was bought on the day of the draw at Kitty’s Cabin in Kilkenny—talk about perfect timing!
