Store owner John Blaney was delighted to hear the good news: “Well I certainly wasn’t expecting this call today!

We will be encouraging all of our customers to check their tickets today – imagine, €500,000 right before Christmas! We wish the winner all the very best with their win and hope they really enjoy it.”
Over 49,000 players in Ireland won prizes in the EuroMillions and Plus draws on Tuesday night. A player in Belgium won the staggering €142,433,804 jackpot on offer which means that Friday’s jackpot is set to be €17 million.
Meanwhile, the National Lottery is continuing to appeal to Daily Million Plus players in Donegal to check their tickets from the 2pm draw on Sunday 12th October as the top prize of €500,000 remains unclaimed.
The winning ticket was purchased on Friday 10th October at Ardara Filling Station, Portnoo Road, Ardara, Co. Donegal
The winning Daily Million Plus (2pm on Sunday, 12th October) numbers were: 9, 16, 24, 29, 32, 38, and the Bonus number was 5.
As National Lottery ticket holders have 90 days from the draw date to claim their prize, the deadline for this top prize amount is close of business on Saturday 10th January.
