EuroMillions jackpot to hit €215 million this evening

The EuroMillions jackpot is heading for a massive sum of €215 million this evening (Tuesday), which means that if it's won in Ireland it would be the largest jackpot win ever to take place in this country.

A North County Dublin family syndicate currently holds the record for winning the highest EuroMillions jackpot in Ireland, after winning €175.4 million in February 2019. Their winning ticket was purchased in Reilly’s Daybreak in Naul, Co. Dublin.

The EuroMillions jackpot has already been won once so far this year in Ireland when a Clare family syndicate won a life-changing €30.9 million after purchasing their ticket at Larkin’s Gala service station in Ballina on the border of Tipperary, Limerick and Clare.

This year has also seen another three EuroMillions players in Ireland become millionaires after players in Cork (2) and Galway won €1 million each in the special EuroMillions Raffle draw which took place on January 21.

"Since 2004, there have been 17 EuroMillions jackpot winners in Ireland and a win tonight could see this rise to an incredible 18," said a National Lottery spokesperson.
