Euromillions draw

Get checking those tickets, because you may have just woken up A LOT richer.

Bad news first. Or not depending on how you feel about it.

There was no winner of Tuesday 31 July’s EuroMillions jackpot, worth a tasty €56,774,958.

And now for the good news. If you happen to be this one person, or at least friendly enough with them to reap the benefits…

There was one Irish winner of the match-five-plus-one-lucky-star draw, and they won a pretty substantial €278,540 for their troubles.

The numbers drawn were 20, 25, 34, 42 and 45. The lucky stars were 6 and 11.

There was no winner of the Euromillions Plus draw.

Friday 3 August’s Euromillions draw is now expected to be for approximately €70 million.
