Irish EuroMillions: Two Players Win Six-Figure Prizes Despite Jackpot Miss

An Irish EuroMillions player in County Cork came within one number of winning Friday night’s €130 million jackpot, securing a prize of €161,198, while another player in County Dublin won the €500,000 EuroMillions Plus jackpot, according to the National Lottery.

The main EuroMillions draw featured winning numbers 13, 24, 28, 33, and 35, with Lucky Stars 05 and 09. More than 67,000 players in Ireland won prizes across both the EuroMillions and Plus games, the lottery confirmed.

The €130 million jackpot was a special “Superdraw” prize, guaranteed regardless of the previous draw’s outcome. Despite the large sum, the jackpot rolled over, and will increase for the next draw on Tuesday, February 24th, to an estimated €142 million, according to the National Lottery website.

In addition to the two major prizes, ten players each won €5,000 in the Ireland Only Raffle. The winning raffle codes were I-TGT-78425, I-TGZ-72911, I-THC-34465, I-THD-77966, I-THF-55334, I-THF-88535, I-THH-79154, I-THJ-00617, I-THJ-13202, and I-THJ-60418.
