SOMEONE who bought their ticket in Killarney is €500,000 richer today after winning the EuroMillions Plus top prize in last night’s draw.
This is the third such prize of €500,000 won in Kerry so far this year. The winning ticket was sold at Daly’s Supervalu, Park Road, Killarney, Co Kerry. Speaking on selling the winning ticket, store owner of Daly’s Supervalu, John Daly said: “We are almost 35 years in business here in Killarney and this is the first time we’ve had a major National Lottery prize winning ticket sold here so it’s great to get off the mark!”

“It’s a fantastic bit of news for one of our customers and I hope it is one of our regulars. Most of our trade comes from the local community – we do get a lot of tourist trade too but not this year – so whoever the €500,000 winner is we wish them the very best of luck. Myself and all the staff at Daly’s Supervalu will be spreading the word and encouraging all our shoppers to check their tickets.”
The winning EuroMillions Plus numbers for last night’s draw were: 01, 09, 42, 46 and 50. The winning Quick Pick ticket was sold yesterday, Tuesday 14th April. There was no winner of the €59,184,725 EuroMillions jackpot, which rolls to an estimated €65 million for this Friday’s draw.
Meanwhile, the National Lottery is yet to hear from the winners of the two other recent Kerry EuroMillions Plus top prize wins. Amazingly both of these tickets were sold at Sheahan’s Centra store in Glenbeigh, Co. Kerry and were won on the EuroMillions draws on Friday 28th February and Tuesday 31st March.
A National Lottery spokesperson said: “It’s a challenging time for people all over the country and there are a lot more important things on people’s mind presently but we are asking all our EuroMillons players in Killarney, Glenbeigh and the wider Kerry areas to check their tickets very carefully to see if they are one of these three winners of €500,000.
“Have a think – in the past two months, did you visit Glenbeigh or stop to buy a ticket while passing? If so please do check your wallets, purses, glove box in your car, wherever you keep your National Lottery tickets and if you are the winner of one of these prizes please sign the back of the ticket and contact our prize claims team on 1800 666 222 and we will make arrangements for you to collect your prize once COVID-19 restrictions are lifted. We have extended the period of time that winners can collect prizes to encourage people to stay at home and not require them to make any unnecessary journeys during the current public health emergency.”
