€195,442, that sum will have one Irish EuroMillions player checking their bank account this week. On Tuesday 19 May a single Irish ticket matched five main numbers and one Lucky Star to win that prize. There were no jackpot winners on either 19 or 22 May, and the National Lottery confirmed the May 19 ticket was bought online. The Lottery has published the main draw, EuroMillions Plus and Ireland Only Raffle numbers for both nights. If you hold tickets for either draw, check them now against the numbers below or via the National Lottery's official channels.
If you bought EuroMillions tickets in Ireland for the draws on Tuesday May 19 or Friday May 22, don't file those stubs away yet. Put the numbers below beside your ticket and check the Ireland Only Raffle and EuroMillions Plus lists as well. I will save you the trouble: there was one significant Irish winner on May 19, and neither draw produced a jackpot winner.
Tuesday May 19: a big Irish prize but not the jackpot
Frankly, the EuroMillions jackpot on Tuesday May 19 stood at €92,722,477. The main draw numbers were 2, 12, 20, 38, 45, with Lucky Stars 2 and 5. No ticket matched the full seven numbers to take the jackpot, but one Irish ticket matched five main numbers plus one Lucky Star and won €195,442.
The National Lottery confirmed that the €195,442 ticket had been bought online. Across Ireland more than 42,000 players won prizes in the EuroMillions and EuroMillions Plus games that night.
EuroMillions Plus offered a top prize of €500,000 on May 19, but that top prize went unclaimed. In the Plus draw 37 players in Ireland matched four numbers to win €2,000 each. Ten Ireland Only Raffle tickets won €5,000 apiece. The National Lottery published the Ireland Only Raffle reference codes for the May 19 draw as: I-TQH-36230, I-TQJ-02452, I-TQN-82916, I-TQP-88049, I-TQR-35747, I-TQS-41731, I-TQS-66149, I-TQT-12248, I-TQT-28453 and I-TQT-44758.
Friday May 22: jackpot grows, Irish prizes smaller
By Friday May 22 the EuroMillions jackpot had climbed to €105,432,709. The main draw numbers that night were 6, 22, 26, 31, 37, with Lucky Stars 5 and 8.
Thing is, again, there was no ticket matching all seven numbers to win the jackpot.
For Irish players the largest regular prize on May 22 was modest: €127, collected by 23 people who matched four numbers and one Lucky Star. The EuroMillions Plus top prize was once more unclaimed. In the Plus draw 61 players across Ireland matched four numbers and took home €2,000 each. Overall more than 59,000 players in Ireland won prizes in the EuroMillions and Plus games on May 22.
Ten Ireland Only Raffle tickets also won €5,000 each on May 22. The published raffle reference codes for that draw are: I-TQV-24465, I-TQV-49383, I-TQW-54922, I-TQW-95887, I-TQX-55497, I-TQZ-24090, I-TQZ-48932, I-TRB-66201, I-TRB-70404 and I-TRC-75056.
After both draws the National Lottery issued an appeal urging players to check their tickets carefully. For the May 19 draw the Lottery explicitly confirmed the online purchase of the €195,442 ticket and published both the draw and raffle numbers. For May 22 the Lottery again reported there was no jackpot winner and supplied the main, Lucky Star and Plus numbers along with the Ireland Only Raffle codes and a summary of winners in Ireland.
What matters now is practical. First, match your ticket against the numbers above.
Second, check the Ireland Only Raffle codes and EuroMillions Plus lists, because prizes can hide outside the main draw. Third, use the National Lottery’s official channels to check results: the website, the mobile service, or your online account if you bought the ticket digitally.
Keep any winning tickets in a safe place until you complete the claim process. The National Lottery will have its procedures and deadlines, and those vary depending on the prize level and how the ticket was purchased. The one confirmed online purchase in these draws underlines the convenience of checking through a National Lottery online account or the official website.
