A Lotto player in Kilkenny is €500,000 richer following last night’s draw, though they are yet to claim their prize.

Players have been urged by the National Lottery to check their accounts carefully.

A notification and an email have been sent to the winner who entered the draw online, a spokesperson confirmed.

“An online player in Kilkenny has become our latest player to take the title of top prize winner after winning €500,000 in Friday’s EuroMillions Plus draw,” they added.

"We are urging all of our players in the Marble County to log into their accounts and check their notifications very carefully as one person has an incredible amount waiting for them!”

The winning numbers in the EuroMillions Plus draw were: 07, 08, 13, 21, 37.

The winner can contact the prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or by email to claims@lottery.ie. Arrangements will then be made for them to claim their prize.

There was no outright winner of the €152,030,614 jackpot on offer, bringing the jackpot amount towards an estimated €165 million on Tuesday.

This weekend, the jackpot looks likely to reach an estimated €2.5 million.
