There was no winner of the EuroMillions jackpot, however, over 45,000 players in Ireland won prizes, including ten winners of €50,000 in the 'Ireland Only Raffle'.
The top prize in the main draw on December 13 was won by four people outside of Ireland, who each landed an incredible €131,029.
The highest prize in Ireland was €90 which was won by 22 people who matched four numbers and the lucky star.
