The National Lottery is urging all players in Kilkenny to check their tickets carefully and if you’re holding the winning ticket, be sure to contact the National Lottery prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie to arrange the collection of your prize.
The two biggest winners of last night's draw were two players from Cork and Galway, who matched all numbers in the EuroMillions Plus draw to claim remarkable top prizes of €500,000 each.
The Corkonian purchased their winning Quick Pick ticket on the day of the draw from Dunnes Stores, Ballyvolane Shopping Centre, Cork City.
The Galway player picked up their Quick Pick ticket on Thursday, March 20, from Concannons Daybreak, Ahascragh, Ballinasloe, County Galway.
Emma Monaghan, spokesperson for the National Lottery said, "What an incredible night for Irish players! We’re absolutely thrilled for our winners from Cork, Galway, and Kilkenny. We encourage everyone to check their tickets carefully and, if you’re holding a winning ticket, keep it safe, sign the back and get in touch with our team as soon as possible!”
Nearly 30 cent in every €1 spent on National Lottery games goes back to good causes in the areas of sport, youth, health, welfare, education, arts, heritage and the Irish Language.
