Someone in Donegal has had a decent start to their weekend.
A ticket purchased online by a player in Donegal became one of two Irish winners of €146,286 in last night’s Euromillions draw, the other ticket being purchased in County Clare
Both winners were just one lucky star number short of claiming the overall prize, matching all five numbers and one lucky star to claim the huge prize.
The winning numbers for last night’s draw were: 08, 19, 32, 41, 42 and the Lucky Star numbers: 09, 12
The National Lottery have called on players to check their tickets carefully and have asked the lucky winners to make contact as soon as possible. A spokesperson for the National Lottery said: “There was extra excitement for Friday’s EuroMillions draw which promised a guaranteed jackpot of €130 million. While there was no winner of the overall prize, over 76,000 players in Ireland won prizes which includes the two big winners in Clare and Donegal. We’re asking all of our players nationwide to check their tickets and if you are one of the big winners, you can call us on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie.”
With no overall winner of the €130 million Euromillions jackpot, it now looks set to roll over to an incredible €145 million next Tuesday.
