Saturday night's draw also saw 97 players get a massive boost to their winnings as the National Lottery topped up the Lotto Plus Raffle with an additional €1 million. This meant that each player got a stunning €10,809.

A national lottery spokeswoman said: "Last night’s draw proved to be a big one for Lotto players all over the country.
"A player in Dublin became the biggest winner of the night after matching five numbers and the bonus to win a respectable €55,439 while 97 players shared a boosted prize fund due to the additional €1 million in the Lotto Plus Raffle prize fund.
"Instead of receiving €500 as is the typical prize for the Lotto Plus Raffle, each of these winners will now go on to claim €10,809 each.
