ONE Mayo Lotto punter will wake up richer tomorrow after scoring a huge €152,670 in the Euromillions draw tonight.
No one managed to nab the top prize worth an eye-watering €87,739,478 but over 43,000 players in Ireland won prizes in the EuroMillions and Plus games.

The lucky digits in question were: 19, 26, 31, 39, 48 and lucky stars 2 and 3.
The Mayo player matched five numbers to score their prize alongside five European winners who won the same amount.

The winning numbers were: 17, 27, 30, 34 and 41.
Ten players will pocket an impressive €5000 each from the Ireland Only Raffle Numbers.

Separately, last week a ten-man syndicate picked up their €5.5million Lotto jackpot prize after finally winning big playing the same numbers for 25 years.
The group of Galway City Council street cleaners almost changed their lucky digits only months ago but decided against it before scooping the huge prize in the August 3 National Lottery draw.

The ten-man syndicate was formed almost 25 years ago, with all of their numbers chosen for individual reasons by all of the members.
Celebrations were in full swing in the National Lottery’s winners’ room today as the syndicate collected the life-changing €5,541,001.
The ecstatic group, who wish remain anonymous, told how one man nearly dropped out of the syndicate before being convinced otherwise.
Speaking about keeping the belief going over the past quarter of a century, one man said: “The lads thought about changing the numbers at one stage, but decided against making any changes.
“Just last Christmas, one member mentioned that he was going to leave the syndicate, but he was persuaded to stay on and was told it was only the price of a pint and a newspaper.
“Luckily, he stayed as the syndicate winning numbers appeared on the August 3 Lottery draw”.
