The location of the life-changing EuroMillions Plus prize has been revealed after an Irish punter won big on Tuesday night.
The Irish punter from Co Kildare became the 12th EuroMillions Plus top prize winner of the year to date after purchasing their ticket online, winning €500,000 off of their online ticket.
The winning numbers in the Tuesday, July 9, EuroMillions Plus draw were: 11, 14, 18, 29 and 32.
A notification and an email has been sent to the Kildare online player by the National Lottery.
The winner is being asked to make contact with the National Lottery prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie and arrangements will be made for them to claim their prize in Lotto Headquarters.
National Lottery spokesperson Sarah Orr said: ‘Tuesday night’s draw saw an online player in Kildare take the title of 12th EuroMillions Plus top prize winner of 2024.
‘So far this year, the game has seen players nationwide in Dublin (3), Tipperary (1), Cork (2) , Wicklow (2), Kilkenny (1), Laois (1) and Kildare (2) scoop the top prize of €500,000.
‘And that’s not forgetting the Cork player who became an overnight millionaire after winning €1,005,000 in the special Ireland Only Raffle in May.’
They added: ‘We are encouraging all of our online players in Kildare to log into their accounts and carefully check their tickets as one player has an incredible prize waiting for them.
‘The winner should make contact with our prize claims team who will make arrangements for them to visit the famous Winners’ Room to collect their €500,000 prize.’
