Details about the winner(s) holding the single ticket have not been released yet, and can possibly take some time for the winners to come forward. Even then, they can decide to stay anonymous so we may never know who the record jackpot winners are!
2. €175 Million - Tuesday, 19th February 2019
A family syndicate were the big winners after a draw that captured the excitement of players all over Europe. A Superdraw on 1st February had pushed the top prize up to €120 million and it kept on growing until a winning ticket from Co Dublin matched all the numbers. The lucky entry was sold at Reilly's Daybreak in The Naul and the winners were quick to come forward after the news sparked excitement across Ireland.
The winners did not choose to go public but they did describe the moment as a 'dream come true', with one member of the syndicate saying they felt 'numb'. They told lottery officials that they had kept the ticket in an Argos catalogue under a mattress on the night after the draw, before handing it over for safe-keeping. They were determined not to get carried away and said the best thing was knowing that everyone in the family would be looked after for generations to come.
3. €115 Million - Friday, 29th July 2005
Dolores McNamara, a part-time cleaner from Limerick, snapped up €115 million in July 2005 to become Ireland's first EuroMillions jackpot winner. She planned to travel the world and jetted off on holidays to Turkey and Spain within months of her win, as well as taking a shopping trip to New York and spending Christmas in Cambodia. McNamara went on to spend €3.5 million on Lough Derg Hall in Clare and bought houses for all six of her children. McNamara's prize was the largest jackpot ever to have been won at the time and she remained Ireland's record holder for almost 14 years.
4. €93 Million - Tuesday, 25th June 2013
One of the largest EuroMillions jackpots in history was offered in this draw, with €187 million up for grabs following a Superdraw earlier in the month and then four more rollovers. There turned out to be two winning tickets – one from Belgium and one from Beaumont in North Dublin. The payout, worth almost €94 million, instantly made the winner one of Ireland's 100 richest people. They decided to stay anonymous but did say in a statement that they were excited about the new opportunities open to them.
5. €88 Million - Tuesday, 24th January 2017
A Dublin work syndicate brought a run of seven rollovers to an end in early 2017, matching all the winning numbers with a ticket bought at the Applegreen Service Station on the M1 Northbound in Lusk. The group decided not to reveal their identities when they came forward but they did tell officials they were 'absolutely delighted'. They said they would have a low-key celebration with loved ones before booking their summer holidays and planning their futures with the financial freedom of not having to worry about mortgages and other bills.
