✨MUNSTER✨
Check those #EuroMillions tickets!#ItCouldBeYou
Players in Limerick and further afield are encouraged to check their tickets, as the very lucky person may not be aware of their extraordinary and life-changing win!
The record-breaking win eclipses the €175 million record for the largest cheque presented in the famous Winners' Room, when Reilly's Daybreak on Main Street, The Naul, County. Dublin, sold the winning ticket for Ireland’s largest EuroMillions win in February 2019.
The holder of the winning ticket is being advised to sign it and to make contact with the National Lottery so that arrangements can be made for the jackpot to be claimed.

National Lottery CEO Cian Murphy is advising EuroMillions players to check their tickets very carefully to see if they have landed this mega windfall.
"We are absolutely thrilled to see this incredible and record win for an Irish EuroMillions player! We are advising our players to check their tickets and if they are the winner, sign the back of the ticket, keep it safe, and contact National Lottery HQ and we will guide you through the claims process."
He added: "The details surrounding the winning ticket will be revealed over the coming days. With such a big win we have procedures to follow, but we will reveal the winning location as soon as we can. While this is a massive win, it can come as a shock to a winner and we advise them to stay calm, get independent legal and financial advice and contact us as soon as they can."
