A good draw for some.

While we reported on Friday night that one Irish player had been among 15 lucky people to claim the €86,770 prize in the main draw, there were other lucky Irish winners on the night.

For every EuroMillions draw in Ireland, for each line purchased, a player receives a unique Ireland Only Raffle (IOR) code on their ticket. From all IOR codes generated in any given draw, 10 are drawn and those lucky Irish players win €5,000 each.

But on Friday night’s EuroMillions draw, each of the 10 IOR winners in that draw won the usual €5,000 as well as an additional €100,000 from the €1 Million prize pot. So each of the 10 Irish winners took home €105,000 in the Ireland Only Raffle.

The National Lottery urged all EuroMillions players to check their tickets to see if they were the winners of the Match 5 prize, or one of the 10 Ireland Only Raffle prizes of €105,000.

Winners are urged to sign the back of the ticket and contact the National Lottery.
