An Irish EuroMillions player came agonisingly close to scooping Tuesday night's life-changing jackpot.
No one on the continent managed to match up all five numbers and the two lucky stars to take home a whopping €87,739,478, meaning the top prize for Friday's draw will be close to the monstrous €100m mark.
But one player in the west of Ireland did manage to match the first five numbers that came out of the draw - only being denied the top prize by not having the two lucky stars.
