A EuroMillions Plus player in Limerick has won €500,000, after buying a Quick Pick at Tesco in Dooradoyle.
A bank run may be the next stop for a lucky Limerick player after a massive EuroMillions Plus win.
The winner took home the top prize of €500,000 in Friday night’s Plus draw, marking a dramatic start to May. Misryoum understands the ticket was bought as a Quick Pick on Wednesday at Tesco in the Crescent Shopping Centre in Dooradoyle.
For the Friday, May 1 EuroMillions Plus draw, the winning numbers were 12, 37, 38, 49, and 50. The player has been advised to sign the back of the ticket, keep it safe, and contact the prize claims team so arrangements can be made for them to visit Lottery headquarters.
Misryoum notes that while big wins can feel sudden, the process that follows matters just as much, from securing the ticket to making sure claims are handled correctly.
Details provided to players also encourage anyone in the Dooradoyle area who purchased tickets for the draw at the same Tesco location to double-check their entries today. Misryoum reports this is because one person has taken the top prize of the night.
A lottery spokesperson said the win is a memorable way to begin the month, and highlighted that the draw saw tens of thousands of players in Ireland win prizes across the EuroMillions and Plus draws.. Misryoum also reports that, with no winner for the larger €39,355,091 jackpot offered on the night, the Tuesday jackpot is set to roll toward an estimated €50 million.
Meanwhile, another significant result was recorded in Saturday night’s Lotto, where a player in Ireland won €8,726,418. Misryoum says further details about the winner’s location are expected later this Sunday.
Beyond the headlines, Misryoum highlights that National Lottery games are designed to support good causes, with a large share of spending going back to areas including sport, youth, health, welfare, education, arts, heritage, and the Irish language.
An estimated €239.3 million was raised for local Good Causes in communities across Ireland in 2024 alone, adding context to why these draws can resonate far beyond the person holding the winning ticket.. Misryoum’s key takeaway is that for winners and communities alike, checking tickets promptly is the first step in turning luck into action.
