Irish store that sold winning EuroMillions ticket confirmed

One lucky EuroMillions player in Galway is celebrating a life-changing win after snapping up €625,081 in Tuesday's draw - purchasing their ticket in the same store that sold a €7 million ticket last year.
While there was no winner of the EuroMillions jackpot worth €96,858,365, in total over 40,000 players in Ireland won prizes in the EuroMillions and Plus games, including our two winners in Galway and Louth.
The Galway player purchased their winning Quick Pick ticket on the day of the draw from Eurospar in Carraroe, Co. Galway. Remarkably, this store is no stranger to big wins - it also sold a €7 million Lotto jackpot ticket last November.
Adding to the excitement, a second Irish player in Louth matched five numbers to win a handsome €14,609. Their Quick Pick ticket was bought at Dunnes Stores Dundalk, Ard Easmuinn, Dundalk, Co Louth.
The winning numbers in last night's - July 15 - EuroMillions draw were: 24, 38, 41, 45, 49 and the Lucky Stars were 1 and 6.
Emma Monaghan, spokesperson for the National Lottery said, "What fantastic news to wake up to - another substantial win for two Irish EuroMillions players.
"Huge congratulations to our winners in Galway and Louth. We're now urging all of our players to check their EuroMillions tickets very carefully - you could be holding a winning ticket."
The winners are advised to sign the back of their ticket and to keep it safe. They should make contact with our prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie and arrangements will be made for them to collect their life changing prize in Lottery HQ.
Nearly 30 cent in every €1 spent on National Lottery games goes back to Good Causes in the areas of sport, youth, health, welfare, education, arts, heritage and the Irish Language.
In total, more than €6.5 billion has been raised for Good Causes since the National Lottery was established 37 years ago. In 2024 alone, €239.3 million was raised for local Good Causes in communities across Ireland.
