The lucky player will become Ireland's newest millionaire after winning the main lotto prize

AN Irishman became the country's newest millionaire this evening after winning the top prize in a Lotto draw.

The lucky punter won the €1 million jackpot prize in tonight's Lotto Plus One draw.

The winning numbers drawn were: 7, 12, 32, 36, 40 and 45.

The bonus number was 16.

The location of the player who won the life-changing amount has not yet been revealed.

However, they have been urged to sign the back of their ticket and contact Lotto head office.

There was no winner tonight of the main lotto draw, which had a top prize of €4,183,808.

The numbers drawn were: 7, 13, 31, 40, 43 and 46.

The bonus number was 1.

There was also no winner of the Lotto Plus Two draw, which had a top prize of €250,000.

The numbers drawn were: 10, 15, 16, 18, 19 and 32, while the bonus number was 31.

The winning lottery number was 7295.

There were 84 winners of the lottery prize and each received €500.

In addition, another lucky Irish gambler will collect €2,000 a month for the next five years after winning a “special prize” in the EuroDreams Lottery last Thursday.

The player, based in Co Dublin, won the prize along with 62,000 other players in Ireland who bought a ticket for the draw.

There was no winner of the main prize, which was worth no less than 20,000 euros per month for thirty years.

And no Irish player managed to cash in the second prize, worth €2,000 per month, for the next five years.

The lucky Dublin player, who bought his winning ticket online, won the cash as part of the special EuroDreams 'Leap Day' prize.

Around 11 Irish players managed to match five numbers during the draw, each taking home a cool €126, while 652 Irish players cashed in €42 after matching four numbers.

The player has been urged to contact the money chiefs at Lotto headquarters to claim their prize.

BATTLE OF LUCK

Meanwhile, two lucky Irish players traveled to Lotto HQ to collect their prizes worth €150,000 and last week an eye-watering €200,000.

And one player, from Co Cork, picked up his huge prize after “taking one wrong turn” and coming across a shop he had never been to before.

The Rebel County winner won a whopping €200,000 on a €10 All Cash Spectacular National Lotto scratch card.

He bought the lucky ticket at the Centra store in Castlelyons, Co. Cork, after a trip that didn't quite go to plan.

Explaining the stroke of luck, the winner admitted: “I was completely lost.”

He continued: “I was driving around Castlelyons, somewhere I'd never been before, and I had no idea where I was.

“I must have taken a wrong turn and got completely off the beaten track.

“I finally came across the shop and told myself I might as well buy a scratch card as I've never been here before and who knows if I'll ever be back.”
