Ireland: An Irish ticket holder has made history by clinching the largest EuroMillions jackpot ever won in Ireland — a staggering €250 million.
In Tuesday night's record-breaking draw. The massive prize eclipses the previous Irish record of €175.4 million, claimed by a family syndicate in The Naul, Co Dublin, in 2019, marking Ireland’s 18th EuroMillions jackpot victory.
The winning numbers were 13, 22, 23, 44, 49, with Lucky Stars 03 and 05. The identity of the winner remains unknown, as the ticket holder has yet to come forward publicly.
The life-changing win comes amid technical issues for the National Lottery’s app, which crashed due to unprecedented traffic as eager players rushed to check their tickets. A message on the app stated: "High traffic. Please try again later."
The jackpot had been capped at €250 million for four consecutive draws before finally being claimed. This extraordinary win not only sets a new record for Ireland but also highlights the appeal and excitement surrounding the EuroMillions game.
