Westmeath Daily Million player wins top prize of €1m

“A Daily Million player in Westmeath had quite the start to their weekend by becoming the Lake County’s newest millionaire after winning the top prize of €1 million in Friday night’s 9pm draw," said a spokesperson for the National Lottery this morning.

"We will reveal the location of the winning store in the coming days and in the meantime, we would advise the winning ticket holder to sign the back of their ticket and to keep it in a safe place.

"They should make contact with our prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie and arrangements will be made for them to claim their prize.”

The winning numbers for last night’s (Friday 5 November) draw were: 05, 06, 14, 15, 19, 23 and the bonus was 25.

The winner should contact the National Lottery prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie and arrangements will be made for them to claim their prize.

Daily Million draws take place twice a day, seven days a week at 2pm and 9pm and costs just €1 per play.

The National Lottery has confirmed that it is adding an additional €1 million to the Lotto Plus Raffle prize fund for tonight's draw.

Winners of the Lotto Plus Raffle typically win €500 in every draw but in tonight’s draw, players are set for a boost to their winnings.

By topping up the raffle prize fund by €1 million, each winner will instead claim an equal share of the €1 million amount in addition to the €500 prize.

In the main Lotto draw, Lotto players are also set to see a boost to a lower prize tier due to the jackpot remaining capped at €19,060,800.

As the jackpot is capped, no additional funds will be added to it until it is won. The funds that would usually be added to the jackpot will instead continue to flow down to the next prize tier at which there is a winner, as has happened in each of the draws since Saturday 2 October.

The spokesperson said: “As well as the boosted prize fund to a lower tier, tonight’s draw will mark our fifth Lotto Plus Raffle promotion of 2021. We are encouraging our players to purchase their tickets early ahead of the 7.45pm cut-off time for sales this evening."
