Lucky Dublin punter wins €20,000 EuroMillions prize without buying a ticket

One lucky Dublin punter managed to win just under €20,000 after guessing four numbers called in Friday night's EuroMillions draw.

The anonymous BoyleSports customer chose 19, 21, 22, and 31 to appear in the draw with “mammoth odds” of 33,000/1 against them.

Lo and behold, the numbers called in Friday night’s draw were 19, 21, 22, 31, and 38 with the lucky stars 7 and 11.

The incredibly accurate guess was enough to see a €5.50 investment transformed into a mega total of €19,805.50.

In a statement, BoyleSports confirmed: “A Dublin punter won’t be forgetting their Friday night in a hurry after a flutter on their lucky Lotto numbers paid off in the shape of a five-figure windfall.

“The anonymous customer struck it lucky in a BoyleSports shop when they picked out four numbers for the main EuroMillions draw and placed them into a €0.50 Yankee, amounting to a total stake of €5.50.

“They only needed two of the numbers to land to guarantee a return, but they hit the jackpot when 19, 21, 22 and 31 all rolled out to beat mammoth odds of 33,000/1.

“The quick run of fortune was enough to see the investment transformed into a mega total of €19,805.50.”

Lawrence Lyons, spokesperson for BoyleSports said: “We send huge congratulations to our Dublin customer who found themselves nearly €20,000 better off this weekend and it cost them just over a fiver to do it.

“Their ambition has paid off in spades and we wish them happy spending.”
