Winning ticket for €500k EuroMillions Plus draw sold in Cork

A Cork lotto player has woken up €500,000 richer after matching all five numbers in the EuroMillions Plus draw.

The Cork winner purchased their ticket on the day of the draw at Con’s Shop, Gurranabraher Road, for Tuesday night’s EuroMillions Plus draw, which also saw a Dublin player win.

As there was no winner of the EuroMillions jackpot worth €109,599,909, Friday night’s jackpot is set to roll towards an estimated €125m.

National Lottery spokesperson Emma Monaghan said: “It’s been an extraordinary night of celebrations across the country, with players in Cork and Dublin discovering a big win this morning.

“We’re encouraging all our players in these areas to check their tickets carefully. If you’re holding a winning ticket, make sure you sign the back, keep it safe, and contact the National Lottery prize claims team to arrange the collection of your prize.” 

The in-store winners are advised to sign the back of their ticket, keep it safe, and contact the prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie. Arrangements will then be made for them to collect their prizes at National Lottery HQ.

Nearly 30c in every €1 spent on National Lottery games goes back to good causes in the areas of sport, youth, health, welfare, education, arts, heritage, and the Irish language.

In total, over €6.5bn has been raised for good causes since the National Lottery was established 37 years ago. In 2024 alone, €239.3m was raised for local good causes in communities across Ireland.
