An incredible win for someone in Dublin.

As we’re sure you’re aware, someone in the UK won a ridiculous €190,000,000 in the EuroMillions Jackpot on Tuesday night.

The huge figure was won on a night where the €190 million had to be won no matter what, making it the first of its kind.

We hope the irony of someone in the UK winning the EuroMillions in today’s political climate isn’t lost on them, but that’s besides the point…

Someone in Dublin had their very own life-changing win as a result of the draw, winning an incredible €500,000. Half a million euro.

And it has been revealed that the winning ticket was sold in the Centra store on the Grange Road in Rathfarnham.

The shop celebrated the news that they sold the winning ticket on their Facebook page, saying that they were “delighted” for one of their customers.

A spokesperson for the National Lottery said: “While one lucky player in the UK may be €190 million richer this morning, we still had in excess of 203,000 winners in Ireland in last night’s draw so it is important that each and every player throughout the country checks their tickets to see if they have won a prize.”
