The participating countries include Ireland, Austria, Belgium, France, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, and the UK, all gearing up for the excitement.

Every player who buys a ticket for Friday’s EuroMillions draw will receive a unique raffle code for each line played, automatically entering them into this extraordinary raffle that promises to create 100 brand-new millionaires.

Sarah Ruane, spokesperson for the National Lottery said: “Friday’s EuroMillions draw is going to be an incredibly exciting event. On top of the estimated €190 million jackpot on offer, the draw will guarantee 100 brand new millionaires in the draw across the participating EuroMillions game members.

"It’s been an incredible year for players with thirty National Lottery millionaires being made in 2024 so far. There will be huge excitement in the build-up to Friday's draw which could be life-changing for one or more EuroMillions players in Ireland."
