Cork online player just one lucky star number away from €32m

One lucky online player in Cork scooped €267,995 in last night’s EuroMillions draw.

The ticket holder matched five numbers and one lucky star which meant they were just one lucky star short of winning the €32,402,008 jackpot on offer last night.

The winner bought their winning Quick Pick ticket online at www.lottery.ie on the day of the draw.

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 Cork ticket holder who is encouraged to get in touch to begin the process of claiming their prize.

The EuroMillions numbers for last night's draw were: 04, 05, 39, 46, 48 and lucky stars 07, 10.

While there were over 62,000 prize winners in Ireland in Friday night’s EuroMillions draw, there was no overall winner of the €32,402,008 jackpot on offer. Tuesday night’s (9th March) jackpot is now set to roll to an estimated €45 million.
