A single ticket holder bagged an incredible EuroMillions rollover prize of £208million.
Tuesday evening was a night to remember for one lucky ticketholder who bagged the highest ever jackpot. What’s more, another ticket holder managed to win nearly £500,000 in the EuroMillions Plus.
The winning numbers from Tuesday’s draw, which had rolled over several times, are 13, 22, 23, 44 and 49, with lucky stars 3 and 5.
The winning numbers for the EuroMillions Plus draw were: 11, 19, 30, 39 and 50.
The hunt is now on for the latest multi-millionaire to step forward and claim their enormous £208m (€250m) bounty.
And now, the location of the winning ticketholders have been revealed. The £208m win has been claimed by a single holder from Ireland, meanwhile the EuroMillions Plus draw was claimed by a ticket holder in Wexford, also Ireland.
This will be Ireland’s 18th winner of the EuroMillions jackpot and its largest ever win, Irish Mirror reports.
Irish National Lottery chief executive Cian Murphy asked people to carefully check their EuroMillions tickets.
“We are absolutely thrilled to see this incredible and record win for an Irish EuroMillions player,” he said.
“We are advising our players to check their tickets and, if they are the winner, sign the back of the ticket, keep it safe, and contact National Lottery HQ and we will guide you through the claims process.”
He said they would reveal the location of the winning ticket as soon as possible.
“The details surrounding the winning ticket will be revealed over the coming days,” he said.
“With such a big win we have procedures to follow, but we will reveal the winning location as soon as we can.
“While this is a massive win, it can come as a shock to a winner and we advise them to stay calm, get independent legal and financial advice and contact us as soon as they can.”
The EuroMillions jackpot is capped once it reaches 250 million euros – or £208 million.
This jackpot reached the maximum amount on Friday June 6.
In total, more than 92,000 players in Ireland won prizes in the EuroMillions and Plus games.
The last Irish winner of the EuroMillions jackpot was in February 2022, when a person won 30.9 million euro with a quick pick ticket they purchased at a service station in Ballina, Co Tipperary.
