The winning numbers in the January 8 Daily Million 2:00 pm draw were: 17, 20, 21, 23 32, 36, and the bonus was 12.
The Dublin winner is advised to sign the back of their ticket, which is now worth €1 million, and keep it in a safe place.
The winner should contact the National Lottery prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie and arrangements will be made for them to claim their prize.
A National Lottery spokesperson said: “A Daily Million player in Dublin is kicking off the new year in style after becoming Ireland’s latest National Lottery millionaire following Sunday’s 2pm draw.
“We are encouraging all of our Daily Million players in Dublin to check their tickets carefully and the winner is advised to sign the back of their ticket and to make contact with our prize claims team so that arrangements can be made for them to claim their life-changing prize.”
Meanwhile, a player from Dublin who scooped €100,000 in the Millionaire Raffle draw on December 31, claimed their prize at National Lottery HQ this afternoon.
The player, who wishes to remain anonymous, reportedly threw both hands in the air and shouted, “Happy Days”, as they were handed their cheque.
“My brother actually bought the ticket for me as a present,” she revealed, before joking: “I bet he’s wishing he held on to it now!”
She went on to say: “I got my daughter to ring up the National Lottery claims team to find out how much I’d won, and I thought she was messing with me when she said it was €100k, I just couldn’t believe it!
“Here I was walking around with the ticket in my pocket for days not bothering to check it and then, just like that, overnight it's worth €100k”, she said.
“I wrapped it up, placed it in a box, and stored it away, but I made sure to take a picture of where I hid it and send it to my daughter, as I’ve lost things before doing that!” she added.
The Dublin player revealed how they hope to spend their winnings: “The family are telling me I should go on holidays or buy a new car, but I’m actually just hoping to buy a new worktop and cooker for the kitchen. If I get that sorted I’ll be happy”, she said.
The winning ticket was purchased at the Daybreak store on Main Street in Dundrum, Co Dublin.
