The National Lottery is urging players who bought their ticket in Bishopstown to check it carefully.

One lucky Cork player has scooped the top prize of €500,000 in Friday night’s EuroMillions Plus draw.

The National Lottery has revealed the winning ticket was purchased at Dunnes Stores in the Bishopstown Shopping Centre on the Curraheen Road on Thursday, 26 August.

The winning EuroMillions Plus numbers for Friday night’s draw were 01, 14, 19, 21 and 38.

A National Lottery spokesperson said: “We are appealing to all our players who may have purchased their tickets in the Bishopstown area to check their tickets carefully today.

“Our advice to the winner is to sign the back of your ticket and keep it in a safe place.

“You should make contact with our prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email [email protected] and arrangements will be made for you to claim your prize.”

As there was no winner of the €53,070,091 jackpot on offer in Friday night’s EuroMillions draw, Tuesday night’s jackpot is now set to roll towards an estimated €65 million.

Meanwhile, Saturday night’s Lotto jackpot is heading towards an estimated €12.5 million.

The National Lottery has reminded Lotto players ahead of tonight’s draw that tickets can be purchased in-store, in-app or at www.lottery.ie before the cut-off time of 7.45pm.
