€49m winning lottery ticket was bought by Leinster player

The National Lottery is asking its EuroMillions players in Leinster to check their online accounts and emails after the National Lottery confirmed that the winner of Tuesday night’s €49,564,587 EuroMillions jackpot was an online player.

The National Lottery has confirmed that a notification to the user’s online account and a separate email has now been sent to the lucky Leinster ticketholder who is encouraged to get in touch to begin the process of claiming their life-altering prize.

The winning ticket was a €2.50 Normal Play selection, meaning that the lucky player selected their own winning numbers to scoop this win of a lifetime.

The winning numbers are: 14, 15, 24, 29, 42 and the Lucky Stars are 02, 04.

The National Lottery has also confirmed that it has begun the process of drawing down the jackpot funds from the other nine participating lotteries in the EuroMillions community and expects to be in a position to be able to pay out the €49,564,587 prize next week.

This is the second EuroMillions jackpot win in Ireland this year and is the 16th time the jackpot has been won in Ireland since the EuroMillions game began in 2004. So far in 2020, the National Lottery has made 19 brand new millionaires through the Lotto, EuroMillions and Daily Million games.
