The National Lottery has confirmed that the winning ticket for Tuesday night’s €250 million EuroMillions jackpot was purchased in-store in the Munster region.

This win marks a new milestone for the Irish National Lottery, setting the record for the largest prize ever claimed in the country.

The previous record stood at €175 million, won in February 2019, with a ticket sold at Reilly’s Daybreak in The Naul, Co Dublin.

The numbers for Tuesday night’s EuroMillions draw were: 13, 22, 23, 44, 49, and the two Lucky Stars were 3 and 5.

In addition to the main EuroMillions jackpot, Tuesday night also brought riches to a EuroMillions Plus player in Co Wicklow, after they successfully matched all five winning numbers to secure the top prize of €500,000.

The Plus player purchased their Quick Pick ticket on the day of the draw, from Selskar Bookshop, Townparks, Co Wexford.
The numbers for Tuesday night’s EuroMillions Plus draw were: 11, 19, 30, 39 and 50.

Spokesperson for the National Lottery, Emma Monaghan, said: “What a night for our EuroMillions players. Not only did we see 92,000 players in Ireland win prizes, including our top prize in EuroMillions Plus, but we also saw the historic jackpot being won by an Irish player.

"We are continuing to advise all EuroMillions players in the Munster region to check their tickets very carefully to see if they have landed this mega windfall. We’re looking forward to sharing more details about the win in the coming days."

Players are reminded that all National Lottery prizes must be claimed within 90 days of the draw date.
