A single ticket-holder in Ireland has claimed the entire €250 million Irish EuroMillions jackpot, the largest ever recorded in the game’s history. While the main win went to a player across the Irish Sea, two UK-based ticket-holders also secured substantial payouts, each receiving just over £6.28 million after matching five numbers and one lucky star.
The EuroMillions jackpot, which had been rolling over for several weeks, hit its capped total on Tuesday night, drawing global attention. According to the official results, the winning numbers were 13, 22, 23, 44, and 49, with the lucky stars 3 and 5. At the time of the draw, the jackpot was worth approximately £213.65 million, equivalent to the €250 million cap.
The Irish National Lottery has confirmed the win and stated that the location of the lucky ticket sale will be revealed shortly, once internal procedures are completed. Over 92,000 Irish players also received secondary prizes, as the draw created 3.9 million winners across participating countries.
The UK’s share of success included two major winners who each matched five main numbers and one star, falling just one number short of the jackpot. Their winnings, £6,287,001.20 each, are among the largest non-jackpot payouts seen this year.
For those unfamiliar with how EuroMillions operates, the jackpot cap of €250 million means any surplus rolls down to winners in the next prize tier, explaining the unusually high secondary prizes. For players in the UK, results and further information can be found via National Lottery guidance, which also outlines the rules for claiming winnings securely.
With attention now shifting to the next draw, many across the UK and Ireland will be checking tickets again, hoping to replicate this extraordinary luck. As for the winner in Ireland, they’re being urged to sign the back of their ticket, keep it safe, and contact officials discreetly to begin the prize claim process.
