A lucky player from Dublin won €500,000 in the Euromillions Plus Draw, marking his second win in a month. He plans to use the winnings to help finance his daughter's upcoming wedding.
One lucky Euromillions player got the best possible early Christmas present at the weekend after claiming the top prize of €500,000 in the Euromillions Plus Draw last Friday, December 20. If winning that on its own wasn’t lucky enough, the player’s good fortune extended to the fact that it was his second win on the Euromillions in a fortnight, having claimed €2,000 in a Euromillions draw earlier this month.
The prize-winner, a man based in Dublin, said he plans to put some of his winnings towards his daughter’s wedding after she recently got engaged. Speaking to the National Lottery, he said: “I was standing upstairs in my house when I checked my ticket online. When I saw the amount of money – I immediately shouted down to my wife: 'It’s after happening again' - my wife ran up the stairs in a panic, thinking I’ve spilled tea all over the carpet again!” He added: “My daughter recently got engaged, I am now in the fortunate position to help organise my daughter’s wedding and make it a day to remember!” More lottery players are set to win big over the Christmas, with just one week left until the highly-anticipated Millionaire Raffle draw on New Year’s Eve next Tuesday, December 31. As well as the top prize of €1 million, there will also be six prizes of €100,000, 15 prizes of €10,000, 45 prizes of €5,000, 302 prizes of €1,000 and 8,131 prizes of €500 up for grabs. Tickets are limited, with only 600,000 available, and cost €25 each. The National Lottery has advised players that the Christmas Millionaire Raffle has sold out for the past four years, so securing a ticket early is advised. Tickets are on sale now at National Lottery retail agents nationwide, online at www.lottery.ie, and through the National Lottery ap
