Ireland gets another new millionaire after Daily Million jackpot won as hunt begins for lucky punter

The hunt is on for Ireland's newest millionaire after Thursday afternoon's Daily Million jackpot was won.

The lucky player successfully managed to match all six numbers in the 2pm draw to become Ireland's newest millionaire.

It's the third time since July that the top prize in the twice-daily draw has been scooped.

The ticket holder needs to make sure they know where it is as otherwise they won't be able to collect their prize.

The winning numbers in Thursday's Daily Million draw at 2pm were:

5. 16. 23, 29, 31, 39 and a bonus ball of 13.

In total, over 800 people won prizes on the main draw but only one managed to match up the six golden numbers to take home the seven-figure sum.

If the person bought the ticket online, they will need to contact the National Lottery Claims Department on 1800 666 222 where arrangements will be made to process their prize.

On the flip side, if they bought it at a National Lottery agent, they must claim your prize within 90 days of the applicable draw date(s).

Lotto bosses have this advice for that player: "Your ticket is a bearer instrument, so treat it as if it were cash. It is the only valid proof of a game played and must be presented to claim a prize.

"You should sign the back of all winning tickets before presenting for payment.

*Winners of prizes of €15,000 and above cannot post their ticket to the National Lottery and should contact the Claims team on 1800 666 222 between 9.15am and 5.30pm Mon-Fri."
