Irish EuroMillions player guaranteed to win life-changing sum in special €100m draw

One Irish EuroMillions player will be guaranteed to win a life-changing sum on Friday evening as a bumper €100m goes up for grabs in the main draw.

A series of extra draws on the four Fridays in August has seen a guaranteed winner of €1 million in each Friday EuroMillions draw on August 5th, 12th, 19th .

That means that Irish players have one last chance at becoming a guaranteed millionaire by simply buying a ticket on Friday.

Then, last week, a ticket-holder from Galway won the million.

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.

As with every EuroMillions draw the ‘Ireland Only Raffle’ sees 10 raffle codes generated with each winning €5,000. One of these ten winners will then have an additional €1 million added to their prize in the four draws over the month.

Already in 2022, we've seen a player in Clare take home a whopping €30,928,078 when managing to match all of their numbers up with the draw.
