Luck of the Irish as Two Win Big on the Irish National Lottery and Lotto Plus 1

One very lucky person from Ireland has won a massive amount of cash in the  EuroMillions draw. 

The player who has not been identified won the six figure prize following the draw on Tuesday evening. A nice bonus to wake up to, that's for sure.

Co Laois was the location, where the winning ticket was purchased. No exact location of the store has been revealed as yet. 

Tuesday’s winning numbers for the Plus draw were 10, 14, 22, 44 and 47.

Cleaning the Car Revealed €1 Million Winning Ticket for Second Irish Winner

Incredibly, another Irish win of €1 million was claimed after the lucky person discovered the winning ticket when cleaning out the inside of their car. 

The player from Limerick who bought a Lotto Plus 1 ticket from a filling station in Oola in March said that they had only just checked an old ticket which had been left with a bunch of others in the car for weeks when they realised they had won big.  

The winning numbers for the EuroMillions were 2, 8, 17, 28 and 35. The two lucky stars numbers were 7 and 9. 

The Biggest EuroMillions Jackpot Winners in Ireland 

EuroMillions has created Ireland's biggest lottery winners, with jackpots that have even exceeded €150 million before. The top five biggest winners in Ireland's history have won more than €550 million between them.

What Are the Odds of Winning the Irish National Lottery? 

The odds of winning the Irish Lotto jackpot (matching the 6 numbers) are 1 in 10,737,573. Instead, the official EuroMillions, being one of the most popular lotteries, has odds of 1 in 139,838,160. 

The luck of the Irish is certainly a phrase which can be used in this instance. How many of us have just scooped up the rubbish in the car, bagged it, and thrown it away?  

I guess the moral of this story is to always check that ticket, It Could Be You.
