‘Jack of all trades' group scoops final Prize in exclusive Irish EuroMillions draw
A 'jack of all trades' syndicate have been revealed as the final winners of the final bonus Ireland Only EuroMillions raffle. For the month of May, the National Lottery saw every EuroMillions draw have a special bonus draw for the Ireland-Only raffle, which would see one winner of the €5,000 prize win an extra €250,000. After several huge wins across the country, an 11 strong syndicate of tradesmen from the east of the country have been revealed as the winners of the €255,000, with the head of the syndicate Richard O'Brien purchasing the ticket at Applegreen in Newfoundwell Road, Greenbatter in Drogheda, Co Louth on the day of the draw. The 11-strong 'Jacks of All Trades' Syndicate from Co. Louth claimed a €255,000 prize in the EuroMillions Ireland-Only Raffle, celebrating their win at National Lottery HQ. Pic: McInnes Photography The syndicate, which is made of builders, plumbers, engineers and electricians, had a simple system: one group chat, one ticket each, three lines with the plus and everyone keeping an eye on every ticket — with one member of the syndicate beating Richard to the punch in checking that they had the winning raffle number of I-SDL-14299. Richard had initially thought that they won the more 'modest' €5,000 sum, but 'one of the lads said 'check again, we've won a lot more than that! There's a special raffle on.' I thought he was pulling my leg… until I looked it up. That's when I saw we won an extra €250,000! 'The phone was hopping with calls and texts for the rest of the night,' Richard added. 'It was madness but great excitement!' The syndicate were the last EuroMillions players this month to win the massive €255,000 bonus in the Ireland-Only raffle. Pic: MacInnes Photography Richard confirmed the huge win with the National Lottery the next day, with the team coming from the eastern corners of the country to Lotto HQ to sign the back of their ticket and celebrate their massive win. As for what they plan on doing, the lads have debated how to spend their massive windfall — with one set to buy a new couch for his partner, while another is helping a family member save for a house. The group chat that also won the huge windfall are now also debating where to head on holiday, with sun destination chatter heating up. The lads' plans for the money include buying a couch for a partner, as well as helping a relative save for a house. Pic: MacInnes Photography The Ireland-Only raffle win comes as a massive three EuroMillions players won huge sums after matching five numbers in Clare, Kerry and Cavan.

Irish player lands life-changing prize in mega €220m EuroMillions jackpot draw
A lucky Irish EuroMillions player has kicked off their weekend in style after winning a life-changing six-figure prize in Friday night's draw. The lucky punter was one of 10 winners of the Ireland-Only Raffle in Friday's draw. And while that prize is usually worth €5,000, the National Lottery has added an additional prize of €250,000 for one winner of the Ireland-Only Raffle for all nine draws during the month of May. As a result, the EuroMillions player in question will wake up tomorrow morning a cool €255,000 richer thanks to their winning raffle number - I- SDZ-53784. The other nine Ireland-Only raffle numbers, all worth €5,000 apiece, can be seen here. In total, over 81,000 players in Ireland won prizes in Friday night's EuroMillions and EuroMillions Plus games. In the main EuroMillions draw, the numbers called were: 04, 07, 14, 33, 36 and the Lucky Stars were 01 and 05. No players in Europe managed to bag the €218m jackpot on offer in this draw, although one Irish player did come agonisingly close to scooping the massive sum after missing out on the mammoth jackpot by just one correct number. However, the Irish player still has reason to celebrate after bagging the 4 + 2 Stars prize worth a cool €1,557. Meanwhile the numbers to look out for in Friday's EuroMillions Plus jackpot are 21, 36, 38, 44 and 48. The €500,000 jackpot up for grabs in this draw also went unclaimed, although 92 players in Ireland did €2,000 each after matching four correct numbers. Players across Ireland are now being urged to check their tickets to see if they are among the 81,000 people here who won prizes in tonight's EuroMillions and Plus games. If you hold a winning ticket that you bought in a shop, you must claim your prize within 90 days of the applicable draw date. Ireland's big EuroMillions winner can contact the National Lottery Claims Department at 1800 666 222 (Monday to Friday, 9.15am to 5.30pm) to arrange for collection.
