Lotto bosses have revealed the location of Saturday night’s Euromillions Plus top prize of €500,000.
The National Lottery is appealing to EuroMillions players in north Dublin city to check their tickets after one lucky player scooped the hefty sum in the historic draw, which also saw the EuroMillions jackpot roll to a record high of €230 million.
The winning Quick Pick ticket was sold on Thursday, July 7, at the Centra store beside the Bonnington Hotel on the Swords Road in Dublin 9.

The Dublin winner is advised to sign the back of their ticket and to keep it safe.
The ticket holder should make contact with 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.
Meanwhile, as there was no winner of Friday’s EuroMillions jackpot, next Tuesday night’s draw means that the jackpot is now capped at a truly massive €230 million – the largest lottery prize ever seen in Europe.
The jackpot will remain capped and could possibly remain at that amount for up to a further four draws, with the additional funds that would have gone to the jackpot now flowing down to the next prize tier with a winner.
If the jackpot is still not won after the fifth draw at the cap, the full value of the jackpot will flow down to the next tier with a prize winner.
A National Lottery spokesperson said: “Last night’s EuroMillions draw was a record-breaker! Europe has never seen a higher jackpot on offer and with no outright €230 million jackpot winner, the anticipation now turns to Tuesday night’s draw which will see the jackpot capped at that level. And it’s not just about the big jackpot prize! Players at a lower prize tier will be set for a bumper prize pay-out as additional funds usually added to the jackpot will now flow down to the next prize tier at which there is a winner. Demand for tickets will be inevitably high for next Tuesday night’s draw so we are encouraging players who are hoping to play, to purchase their tickets early in-store and online at www.lottery.ie to avoid potential queues or delays on the evening of the draw.”
