Cited by the Press Association, Cian Murphy, the chief executive of the Irish National Lottery, urged everyone to double-check their tickets. “We are absolutely thrilled to see this incredible and record win for an Irish EuroMillions player,” he said.
“We are advising our players to check their tickets and, if they are the winner, sign the back of the ticket, keep it safe, and contact National Lottery HQ and we will guide you through the claims process.”
“While this is a massive win, it can come as a shock to a winner and we advise them to stay calm, get independent legal and financial advice and contact us as soon as they can.” – Cian Murphy, Irish National Lottery CEO
Murphy said they’ll share where the winning ticket was sold as soon as possible. “The details surrounding the winning ticket will be revealed over the coming days,” he said.
“With such a big win we have procedures to follow, but we will reveal the winning location as soon as we can,” he added.
Murphy also offered some advice for the winner: “While this is a massive win, it can come as a shock to a winner and we advise them to stay calm, get independent legal and financial advice and contact us as soon as they can.”
The EuroMillions jackpot is capped at 250 million euros, which is around £208 million ($280 million). This particular jackpot hit that maximum on Friday, June 6.
In this draw, over 92,000 players in Ireland picked up prizes across the EuroMillions and Plus games.
The last time someone in Ireland won the EuroMillions jackpot was in February 2022, when a quick pick ticket bought at a service station in Ballina, Co Tipperary, landed a 30.9 million euro ($35.6 million) prize.
