One lucky EuroMillions player in Ireland has scooped the whopping €250,000,000 jackpot in the latest EuroMillions draw.
The punter has made history with the prize, becoming the highest-ever winner of an Irish National Lottery game.
Taking place on Tuesday, 17 June, the winning numbers in the draw were as follows: 13, 22, 23, 44, 49, while the lucky stars were 3 and 5.
The record-breaking win eclipses the €175 million record for the largest cheque presented in the famous Winners' Room.
That winning ticket was sold in Reilly's Daybreak on Main Street, The Naul in Dublin in February 2019.
National Lottery CEO Cian Murphy has advised EuroMillions players to check their tickets very carefully to see if they have landed the massive €250 million windfall.
"We are absolutely thrilled to see this incredible and record win for an Irish EuroMillions player," he said.
The EuroMillions jackpot reached its maximum cap of €250 million on Friday, 6 June 2025, meaning that the prize could not grow any further.
The lucky punter who scooped the jackpot has become Ireland’s 18th winner of the EuroMillions top prize.
