One Irish player will become a guaranteed millionaire on Friday evening - as EuroMillions bosses confirmed a bumper draw especially for punters here.

A series of special EuroMillions ‘Ireland Only Raffle’ events are set to make four brand new lottery millionaires over the next four weeks.

These raffle events mean that there will be one guaranteed winner of €1 million in each Friday EuroMillions draw on 5th, 12th, 19th and 26th of August.

Commenting on this exciting ‘Ireland Only Raffle’ a spokesperson for the National Lottery said: “Usually, every EuroMillions draw in Ireland produces ten winners of the €5,000 raffle prize but over the next four Friday draws we have created something extra special.

"In addition to the normal raffle prize on each draw, four winners across all these four draws will win the special €1 million prize. This means that we are going to make at least four people brand new millionaires.”

“Not only will the special promotion see the creation of four instant millionaires in Ireland over the four weeks, but all EuroMillions players in Ireland will also be in with a chance of becoming Ireland’s second EuroMillions jackpot winner of 2022.”, the spokesperson continued.

Every player in Ireland who buys a ticket for any Friday EuroMillions draw between the 5th and 26th of August will be automatically entered into the ‘Ireland Only Raffle’ for that corresponding draw.

A unique code on each ticket will be the player’s raffle number. Four players over the four weeks will become guaranteed millionaires.
