Irish Lotto bosses have confirmed that one very lucky player in the southwest of the country woke up \u20ac1 million richer after scooping top prize in an Ireland-only draw last night.<\/p>\n

The punter, who the National Lottery confirmed this morning bought their ticket at a shop in Co Kerry, holds a winning ticket worth an incredible \u20ac1,005,000.<\/p>\n

The player purchased their Quick Pick ticket yesterday – and while they may not have bagged the jackpot – their raffle number has made them a millionaire. The winning raffle number is: I-VBD-36131<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The winning retail location will be announced in the coming days.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, there was a handy win in Dublin as a SuperValu shopper bought a ticket matching five numbers in the main EuroMillions draw. The player bought their Quick Pick ticket from a SuperValu in Crumlin and takes home \u20ac18,384.<\/p>\n

The numbers in last night\u2019s EuroMillions draw (21st August) were: 10, 14, 15, 19, 45<\/strong> and the Lucky Stars were 4<\/strong> and 12<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

National Lottery spokesperson, Emma Monaghan, advised: “Both winners should sign the back of their tickets, keep them safe and contact our Prize Claims team!\u201d<\/p>\n

In every EuroMillions draw, ten players win \u20ac5,000 in the Ireland-only raffle. On Friday night, one of those winners had an additional \u20ac1,000,000 added to their prize, making them the latest National Lottery millionaire of the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What a way to start the weekend 11:12, 22 Aug 2026Updated 11:12, 22 Aug 2026 (Image: Getty Images)…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":650953,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[73],"tags":[79,18,19,17,5599],"class_list":["post-650952","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-business","tag-eire","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-munster"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/117140101507799072","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/650952","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=650952"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/650952\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/650953"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=650952"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=650952"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=650952"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
