Two Irish players had a happy hand in the last EuroMillions draw Plus, each picking up 500 000 € by checking the five right numbers. The lottery confirmed that the main jackpot, set at 26 669 837 €, was not won. The evening was no less a smile for many participants: more than 37,000 players in Ireland won a prize in the EuroMillions and Plus draws.

According to the information provided, one of the EuroMillions winning tickets Plus was purchased in Mayo County. The other was acquired online. These two winners share the top of the complementary draw and are among the great winners of the evening, failing to see the main prize drop. In the EuroMillions draw, Ireland's best performance was € 80: 15 players received this amount by finding four of the five numbers and one of the two stars. A result that illustrates a contrasting evening: no jackpot, but concrete wins for thousands of participants, especially on the Plus side.

The figures of the EuroMillions Plus draw confirm this dynamic. In addition to the first two ranks at 500 000 €, 41 players scored 2 000 € each with four numbers. This is a reminder of the role of this additional draw, which regularly leads to substantial gains for Irish participants, even when the main pool, shared between several countries, is still out of reach.

In combination, the main draw delivered numbers 5, 17, 28, 33 and 41. The stars were 3 and 9. For EuroMillions Plus, the winning series was 16, 24, 32, 48 and 50, a notable combination for its singularity: it has four multiples of eight, something to surprise some players fond of digital schematics. If these findings do not alter the randomness of the drawing, they feed into the discussions after the results, between intuitive grids, recurring choices and personal strategies.

The Irish draw also allowed ten players to leave with € 5,000 each. The winning codes are I-TKP-62744, I-TKQ-56651, I-TKQ-71798, I-TKR-83679, I-TKR-83793, I-TKR-94373, I-TKS-45531, I-TKS-64534, I-TKT-08743 and I-TKT-28040. So many winning opportunities that contributed to the good balance of the evening for the country's players.

Summary of announced earnings in Ireland:

• Two EuroMillions Plus winners: €500 000 each.
• 41 EuroMillions Plus winners (four issues): €2,000 each.
• 15 players in the main draw (four numbers and one star): 80 € each.
• Ten winners in Ireland's draw: €5,000 each.

In total, more than 37,000 participants in Ireland won a prize in one of the evening's draws. On the other hand, the main jackpot of 26 669 837 € was not won, and therefore leaves for the next appointment.

The two great EuroMillions winners More are encouraged to do the usual gestures of caution: sign the back of their ticket, keep it in a safe place and contact the winning team in order to organize the presentation of their prize at the headquarters. For one, whose ticket has been validated in Mayo County, as for the other, who played online, the lottery recalls the importance of these steps to secure payment. This standard procedure is intended to protect winners and ensure that winning tickets are verified before cheques are issued.

Each draw arouses its lot of expectations, and this one was no exception. If the main pool did not find a winner, the results show that the evening still benefited a wide range of players, from small regular wins to more substantial amounts of EuroMillions Plus and the national draw. It remains to be seen whether, in the next draw, the basket of 26 669 837 € will change hands. In the meantime, the two new half-millionaires are expected to show up to start the process of assigning their winnings, while the other players, too, can check their results and codes so as not to miss a prize.

Falling numbers, validation locations and winning codes are just as many clues for players to cross-check with their receipts. In the short term, attention is turned to the next deadline and the possibility, always open, of seeing the main pool fall. Whether they are point-of-sale grids or online participations, the evening has confirmed a well-known trend: even without a jackpot, the draws can make happy, sometimes very close to home.
