Lotto players in Dublin and Waterford scoop €1 million in Euromillions draw

Players are being urged to check their tickets carefully.

LOTTO PLAYERS ARE being urged to check their tickets after two players in Dublin and Waterford each won €1 million in a Euromillions draw last night.

The two ‘Ireland Only Raffle’ winning codes are both worth €1,005,000.

The winner from Dublin purchased their tickets on the National Lottery website, while it’s expected that the location of the winning store in Waterford will be announced tomorrow morning.

“We are asking players specifically in Dublin and Waterford to check their tickets very carefully, being sure to check their numbers and raffle codes.

“Our online players should check their National Lottery accounts this morning to see if they have a notification to inform them of their million euro prize,” a National Lottery spokesperson said today.

“If you are the lucky ticket holder from Waterford, we ask you to sign the back of the ticket and contact our prize claims team,” they added.

Last night’s EuroMillions draw was the fourth and final draw in the National Lottery’s EuroMillions special ‘Ireland Only Raffle’ which ran for two weeks.

The winning codes are as follows:

  • I-LLV-87429
  • I-LLV-10793

    Voters in Donegal have rewarded an honest old guy who never refused to help constituents. There is some honour in local politics.

    Meanwhile a TD, encouraged by solicitors with close connections to her minister colleague, sues Hotel for not supervising swings. Then it emerges she was holding a bottle of wine when she fell! And is fit enough to run 10k in very respectable time 3 weeks later.
    When she drop the claim against hotel after total humiliation, she claims she only wanted her 7k medical fees repaid.

    Shouldn’t be allowed. Any other job in the country you have to retire 65 / 67 tops . Politicians a law unto themselves. Vermin.

    @stephen darling: He didn’t break or bend any laws by putting himself forward as a candidate in the local election so why is he vermin? So long as he’s able to do the job, which the electorate obviously feel he can do then his age is irrelevant. You don’t suddenly become non compos mentis or vermin when you turn 65/67.

    @stephen darling: Ageist much Mr Darling? He is elected in a democracy. They want him there. Simple as. My Granny is 90 and would talk rings around most people and is an active member in her community. She organises school plays and Christmas events and recently set up a climate action group. Age is not a barrier to progress. A. Lozed mind is. Which I am afraid you appear to have sir or madame.

    @Thomas Quinn: age is certainly not a barrier unless you work as anything but a politician. And unless everyone on this article has been living in a cave for the last 10 years. All politicians are vermin as far as I’m concerned. Screwed the country screwed the people. Just because you get the occasional pot hole filled in doesn’t make you a great politician.

    @stephen darling: Whatever closed mind. Politics just reflects society it does not shape it. Been that way since ancient Greece. You are just ageist. Democracy is a system. If there are 3 people in a room and 2 say I like eating poo and the other ays I don’t then eating poo is what happens. Yay democracy. The real problem is we need the people in the room to have integrity and intelligence.

    @Thomas Quinn: politician shape society they approve the budgets and plans for the local community and the country as a hole . They create good and bad society’s with the funding THEY allocate. In other words it goes were they got the percentage of the vote to elect them in the first place .

    @stephen darling: vermin? That’s a fairly bitter opinion for a democratically elected local councillor in a region you don’t live in I’ll presume also. People made their choice. Sometimes we need a mix of old and young. All cultures have a respect for elders at some stage which has eroded but personally speaking as I hit my 30s my mentors in life have done it all and have a vast network of contacts in their lifetime. Good for him. Many self employed people work on past retirement age or work as consultant roles part time. Experience is invaluable look past exact guidelines and policies. Did you wait until 18th birthday to have your first alcoholic drink? To a tee

    Between all the visits to the doctor for all the understandable age related issues at that age I wonder exactly what he will be able to achieve to be honest.

    Good for him.
    But, he appears to be magic.
    The headlines tells us he’s 89.
    The sub-head tells us he’ll turn 89 in July.
    That’s some trick – having a birthday and staying the same age.
