Players in Ireland win €500k & €250k in EuroMillions as locations of lucky tickets revealed

It's going to be a great bank holiday weekend for these players.

The Dublin player purchased their Quick Pick ticket on April 29 from Supervalu Killester, Howth Road, Dublin 3. The all-important winning raffle number is I-RZR-24209. 

This series of special EuroMillions Ireland-Only Raffles guarantees players a top-up in the prize fund for all nine draws, every Tuesday and Friday, over the month of May.

Typically, every EuroMillions draw produces ten winners of the €5,000 Ireland-Only Raffle prize, but this month there's a twist. In addition to the normal Raffle prize, one winner in each draw in May will win a dazzling €250,000 on top of the usual €5,000 Raffle prize.  

Along with the big win in Dublin, a lucky player in Meath has won €500,000 in the EuroMillions Plus draw.

The Meath player purchased their ticket on the day of the draw from Mace Wilkinstown, Navan, Co. Meath.  

The winning numbers in last night’s (Friday, 2nd May) EuroMillions Plus draw were: 5, 30, 31, 37 and 40.  

National Lottery spokesperson, Darragh O'Dwyer, said: "May is off to a flying start with big wins in both Dublin and Meath – €255,000 in the EuroMillions Ireland Only Raffle and €500,000 in the EuroMillions Plus draw! With eight more €250,000 EuroMillions Ireland Only Raffle top up wins guaranteed, it’s shaping up to be an unforgettable month for our EuroMillions players."
