Youghal is buzzing with excitement as a player has won the €500,000 top prize in the Tuesday, April 29, EuroMillions Plus draw.
The lucky player purchased their Quick Pick ticket on Saturday, April 26 from Lidl on the Mill Road in Youghal, Co Cork and the winning numbers in the draw were 5, 25, 28, 35 and 49.  
This is already Cork’s second top prize win this year in the EuroMillions Plus draw, with a €500,000 top prize from March 21 also won in the county. The winning ticket was sold at Dunnes Stores in the Ballyvolane Shopping Centre in Cork City.
 
Darragh O’Dwyer, National Lottery spokesperson, said: “What a night for Youghal as a player in the town has claimed a life-enhancing amount of money, winning the EuroMillions Plus top prize of €500,000! This is the 14th EuroMillions Plus win so far in 2025. In total over 42,000 players in Ireland won prizes in the EuroMillions and EuroMillions Plus draws.”   
 
The National Lottery is urging all players in the Cork area 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.     
 
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.
In total, more than €6.5 billion has been raised for good causes since the National Lottery was established 37 years ago. In 2023 alone, €227.9 million was raised for local good causes in communities across Ireland.
