An Irish player won an annuity of € 2,000 per month for five years during the EuroDreams draw on Monday night, announced the lottery. The big prize, which promises € 30,000 per month for thirty years, did not find it this time. These results, published by the operator, are reminiscent of the duality inherent in games of chance: a regular net that settles in time for one, the prospect of a life upset in an instant for others, and, in between, a multitude of small wins that glare the players' daily lives.

For this EuroDreams draw, the winning combination consisted of numbers 12, 15, 19, 23, 33 and 38. The Dream Number was 3. The EuroDreams format seduces with its singular promise: not a single pact but a monthly pension, which is part of the time. In this case, the Irish winner is guaranteed a fixed income for five years. This balance between security and predictability distinguishes this game from the more classic lottery, where one is aiming at a monumental jackpot. On Monday, the higher level, which offers a monthly pension over three decades, was not awarded.

The following are some of the expected gains:

• EuroDreams: €2,000 per month for five years won by a player in Ireland
• EuroDreams: €30 000 per month for 30 years not allocated during this draw
• Daily Million (Sunday draw, 2 p.m.): jackpot of €1,000,000** won in Cavan
• More than 22,000 participants in Ireland made various gains, according to published results

Beyond the winner of the rent, the EuroDreams draw rewarded more than 22 000 participants in Ireland with various amounts. The majority of these gains are not intended to change a life, but they help maintain the attractiveness of the game, recalling that luck can manifest itself in modest but tangible forms. For many, these small spinoffs feed the idea that the next draw could perhaps do better.

Another notable event of the weekend: a Cavan player won the jackpot of €1,000,000** in the Daily Million draw on Sunday at 2 p.m. According to the lottery, the winning ticket was purchased the previous day, Saturday, November 29. This new millionaire thus added to the list of winners of 2025. The winning numbers in this draw were 2, 7, 9, 11, 27 and 29, with bonus number 21. In contrast to EuroDreams's pension formula, Daily Million offers here an immediate gain, paid in one time, which instantly discusses the cards of a budget, a project or a personal trajectory.

These two results, combined, illustrate the two faces of chance. The monthly pension, which is more modest on the scale of a global sum, imposes a tempo: it stagnates, anticipates, plans. It makes it possible to consider calmly the repayment of a regular expenditure, the development of a long-term project or the patient creation of a saving. On the other hand, the immediate gain of one million euro concentrates in an instant all the questions: how to organize, what to preserve, what to transform? In one case, luck settles and paces life; In the other, it strikes at once and calls for quick decisions.

The vast majority of tickets remain: those which do not change their existence, but which occasionally offer a reward. Thousands of Irish players have thus shared a success, modest for the most part, but significant enough to revive interest, validate a feeling or simply extend the desire to try again. It's the other engine of lotteries: the frequency of small spinoffs, which accompany the big wins, and maintain a regular link between the public and the game.

The combinations of this beginning of the week tell little of the individual stories that will follow: the holder of the EuroDreams pension will find in this monthly sum a base to exploit to the best of his needs, while the winner of Cavan will have to tame the magnitude of a jackpot. Together, these two cases recall the diversity of trajectories covered by identical prints for all, but with radically different effects depending on the result. And in the meantime, each publication of results—winner numbers, 'Dream Number', bonuses—punctuates the lives of regular players as casual, with this mix of habit and waiting that makes the singularity of draw games.

On Monday night, the prospect of a lifetime pension remained out of reach, but luck did not desert Ireland. She landed on a EuroDreams ticket, with a real monthly guarantee, and on a Daily Million ticket, with an immediate pactole. The rest, for the moment, is held in a few lines published by the lottery: numbers, amounts, dates. The stories will be written over the months for the winner of the rent, and perhaps even faster for the new millionaire of Cavan. Between the two, the thousands of small gains continue to fuel this share of uncertainty and hope that accompanies each draw.
