Over 76,000 players in Ireland won prizes but there was no winner of the jackpot on offer meaning that Friday’s (16th February) EuroMillions jackpot heads for a colossal €150 million.
Speaking after selling the winning ticket for the €333,913 prize Match 5 + Luck Star prize, owner of the Reeks Gateway Centra, John Fleming said, “We’re absolutely thrilled. We can’t believe that one of our customers came so close to winning the EuroMillions jackpot! Yesterday we had a 99c fuel sale at the service station so customers came from far and wide to avail of the offer meaning the winner could be absolutely anybody who was in the Kerry area yesterday. We’ll be encouraging everybody to check their tickets and we wish the winners all the very best of luck with their new found wealth,” he said.
The lucky numbers for the EuroMillions draw were 10, 13, 17, 21, 44 and the lucky stars were 1 & 10.
