The Cork winner is advised to sign the back of their ticket, which is now worth an incredible €500,000, 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.
A National Lottery spokesperson said: “A EuroMillions player in Cork got their month off to the most incredible start by winning the top prize of €500,000 in Friday night’s EuroMillions Plus draw. We are urging all of our players who may have purchased their ticket at Lidl Churchfield to check their tickets very carefully today as a Rebel County player has taken the title of biggest winner of the night. The winner should sign the back of their ticket, which is now worth €500,000, and make contact with our prize claims team as soon as possible.
“Last night’s EuroMillions draw saw a massive €196,414,962 jackpot up for grabs but as there was no winner of the incredible amount, Tuesday’s jackpot is now set to roll towards an estimated €215 million. Ahead of the midweek EuroMillions draw, we are reminding players that tickets can be purchased in-store, through the National Lottery app or at www.lottery.ie ahead of the 7.30pm cut-off time for sales on Tuesday evening.”
