If you’re from Ennis or recently travelled through there, get checking those tickets.

The National Lottery has revealed that the winning ticket for Friday night’s €500,000 Ireland only Euromillions Plus draw was purchased in Ennis in Clare.

The winning ticket, a Quick Pick ticket, was purchased in Dunnes Stores in Clonroad in Ennis. The National Lottery today urged players to check their tickets to see if they are the lucky winner; the winning numbers are 8, 15, 19, 21 and 42.

As well as that big prize, there were also ten winners of €5,000 in the Ireland Only raffle, with the winning tickets sold in Dublin (2), Donegal (1), Galway (1), Kilkenny (2), Meath (1), Kerry (1), Wicklow (1) and Waterford (1).

The latest win brings to a record 28 the number of Euromillions Plus winners in Ireland to date this year, with the winners clocking up a mega €14 million between them.

Another winner of the Euromillions Plus prize from Clare picked up her winnings on Friday, having gone a whole month without realising she had the lucky ticket in her possession.

A National Lottery spokesperson said: “Ireland is on a winning streak with Euromillions this year, with 28 of our players boosting their bank balances. This is a great start to this huge sporting day for our Clare player. We urge everybody to check their tickets and look forward to welcoming them into the National Lottery Winner’s Room.

“We are also urging our players to get in the game and to play Lotto tonight which has a life-changing jackpot of €4 million.

“If they are too busy in front of the television watching the big games to go to their local shop to buy a ticket they can do so from the comfort of their sitting room by playing online at www.lottery.ie or through the National Lottery App. We wish our players best of luck with the Lotto and our rugby and soccer heroes the best of luck in their big games.”
