The National Lottery has been confirmed, winning ticket for a lottery jackpot of almost €31 million was sold in Co Clare.
The EuroMillions numbers drawn on Friday night were 13, 18, 38, 42, and 45 and the lucky stars were 7 and 11.
The EuroMillions jackpot was won by an Irish-bought ticket for the 17th time in the 18 years of the Europe-wide lottery. The total jackpot amount was €30,928,078 and makes it the 9th highest jackpot win in Irish lotto history.
The National Lottery has urged people to check their tickets and advised the winner of the €30,928,087 prize to sign the back of the ticket and keep it in a safe place.
A National Lottery spokesperson said: “There are sure to be celebrations happening in County Clare today.
“One of our EuroMillions players in the Banner County has woken up as Ireland’s 17th EuroMillions jackpot winner after winning the truly life-changing amount of 30.9 million euro in Friday night’s draw. “Today, we are appealing to our players in Clare to check their tickets carefully and if they are the lucky winner, we are advising them to remain calm and to sign the back of their ticket.
“The lucky winner should make contact with our prize claims team, and we will make arrangements for the winner to claim their prize.”
The winning Quick Pick ticket was sold at the Centra store at Summerhill Court in Summerhill, Co. Meath. The local store recently sold the top prize-winning ticket in the New Year’s Eve Millionaire Raffle draw and shop owner Geoff Scally said that he was shocked to have sold another winner.
