The hunt is on to figure out who the lucky winner is

Someone in Galway is skipping into the weekend as Ireland’s newest millionaire.

The lucky lotto player hit the jackpot in the Daily Millions draw on Friday at 2pm.

The winning numbers were: 02, 03, 11, 17, 20, 39 and the bonus was 34.

Spokesman for the National Lottery Darragh O'Dwyer said: “It's the ultimate Friday feeling for one Galway player who has just become Ireland’s latest millionaire.

“A player in Galway is sure to be celebrating after winning the €1 million Daily Million top prize in Friday’s 2pm draw. It comes just days after a Tipperary player scooped the Lotto Plus One top prize worth €1 million in Saturday night’s draw after purchasing their ticket at Maher’s Londis, Cashel Road, Clonmel, Co. Tipperary. It truly has been a huge week for National Lottery players nationwide.”

He added: “The National Lottery has confirmed that an email has been sent to the winner advising them to check their account. The Galway player is advised to contact the Prize Claims team on 1800 666 222 or email [email protected] and arrangements will be made for them to visit Lottery Headquarters to collect their prize.

“Meanwhile, tonight’s EuroMillions jackpot is a guaranteed €17 million. Players dreaming of winning big are reminded that tickets can be purchased nationwide in-store, through the National Lottery app or online at www.lottery.ie ahead of the 7.30pm cut-off time for sales this evening.”

Nearly 30 cent in every €1 spent on National Lottery games goes back to Good Causes in the areas of sport, youth, health, welfare, education, arts, heritage and the Irish Language.

In total, over €7 billion has been raised for Good Causes since the National Lottery was established 39 years ago. In 2025 alone, €238.7 million was raised for local Good Causes in communities across Ireland.
