While there was no winner of the EuroMillions jackpot, worth life changing €74,533,673, in total, over 42,000 players in Ireland won prizes in the EuroMillions and Plus games - including 10 winners of the Ireland only raffle.
The winning numbers in the main draw were: 1, 8, 9, 18, 50 and the Lucky Stars 1 and 5. The lucky winners of the Ireland only raffle each scooped a €5,000 prize in the draw. The following codes are winners:

Meanwhile, the search is on to find Ireland's latest millionaire, who scooped a life-changing prize in a special Lotto Plus Raffle event over the weekend.
The player stands to pocket an astonishing €1,000,500 after their ticket was selected in the Saturday, July 5 draw. While the Lotto Plus Raffle typically sees between 60 and 120 winners of €500 in every draw, last night saw one player enjoy an even higher windfall due to the special event.
Each of the tickets with the winning Lotto Plus Raffle number drawn were entered into a once-off random draw where one ticket was selected to win an additional prize of €1 million. While every ticket holder who had the winning Raffle number won €500, one player won €1 million, in addition to the usual €500 prize. The winning Raffle number was: 9416.
The National Lottery has issued an appeal for all punters to check their numbers carefully. As part of the appeal, they named the shop and location where the golden ticket was purchased. It has been confirmed that the winning ticket was bought at Ely's Centra in Clerihan Village Centre, Co Tipperary, on Thursday, July 3.

AI beginning to influence jobs market in customer service and accounting roles, says new report
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IS beginning to influence listing of customer service roles, with automation tools handling routine queries, according to a new report into the Irish jobs market. The accounting and finance sector is also experiencing a 'significant shift' towards data analytics and AI-driven roles, according to the latest Morgan McKinley Irish Employment Monitor. Companies are increasingly leveraging AI capabilities to automate routine tasks such as accounts payable, accounts receivable, credit control, and payroll, the report said. Trayc Keevans, global director at Morgan McKinley Ireland, said there had been a 'notable reduction' in graduate hiring by major firms, which she said was driven by AI capabilities and highlights potential challenges ahead. 'The standout development this quarter is the significant impact of AI and automation, particularly within the accountancy and finance sectors,' Keevans said. Advertisement 'Permanent roles, especially in data engineering, are notably active as companies build their infrastructure for broader AI integration.' AI-related hiring in the financial sector is 'primarily connected to data engineering roles, where organisations are cleaning and structuring data ahead of more extensive AI implementations, rather than directly hiring for purely AI-focused positions', the report continued. Overall, professional job openings across Ireland increased by 10% in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the previous quarter. However, the market remains cautious, with a slight year-on-year decline of 1.8%. Job seeker activity decreased by 6%. 'The professional employment market in Ireland has shown steady resilience in Q2, despite external economic uncertainties and shifting global trade dynamics,' Keevans said. Keevans added that ongoing debates around hybrid and return-to-office working models 'continue to shape recruitment strategies', as employers seek a balance between flexibility and work in the office.
