The biggest win of the night was the EuroMillions Plus top prize win worth €500,000 which was sold as a Quick Pick ticket at the Student Union shop on the Trinity College Campus in Dublin.
Owner of the Student Union store in Trinity College, Patrick Pierce was overjoyed to hear the news that his store sold the winning EuroMillions ticket which will make one customer half a million richer.
He said: “Just wow! It’s absolutely crazy to imagine somebody popping into the shop yesterday and they are now a half million euro richer for it today.
“The shop has been going in the college for 30 years. We of course have a lot of students and college staff members from the campus in our store each and every day.
“In addition, we also have a lot of tourists coming and going all of the time but whoever the winner is, I’m sure that €500,000 will make a huge difference to them and their families.
“We’re absolutely thrilled for them.”
And another Dublin player will be celebrating a good start to their weekend after they matched five numbers and one lucky star in the main EuroMillions draw to scoop a prize of €193,667.
The winning Quick Pick ticket was sold at the Circle K Westway service station on the Kylemore Road in Dublin 12.
