Celebrations are in full swing as two EuroMillions players from Wexford and Cork struck gold in the Friday, February 21 draw. 
 
A player from Co Wexford has woken up €500,000 richer, after matching all five numbers in the EuroMillions Plus draw. The player purchased their winning Quick Pick ticket on the day of the draw, from SuperValu New Ross.
 
The winning numbers in this EuroMillions Plus draw were: 15, 23, 26, 29 and 48. 
 
Meanwhile, a Corkonian is also in high spirits after bagging a life-enhancing prize of €213,502 in the EuroMillions main draw. The player successfully matched five numbers and one lucky star on their Quick Pick ticket, purchased on Thursday from Texaco Service Station, Model Farm Road, Co Cork. 
 
The winning numbers in the main EuroMillions draw were: 1, 3, 11, 20, 43 and the two Lucky Stars were 2 and 11.  
Emma Monaghan, spokesperson for the National Lottery said, “We’re over the moon to see two big wins from Wexford and Cork emerge from last night’s EuroMillions draw. It’s moments like these that remind us all of the excitement and possibility the games bring. So, to all our players, check your tickets very carefully – who knows, it could be you!” 
 
The National Lottery is urging all players in Wexford and Cork areas to check their tickets carefully and if you’re holding the winning ticket, be sure to contact the National Lottery prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie to arrange the collection of your prize.
