A lucky lotto player in Carlow has just bagged a life-changing cash prize in the Euromillions draw on Tuesday night last.

Two EuroMillions Plus tickets matched all five numbers to scoop the top prize of €500,000 each in last night’s draw (Tuesday, 21st April). A Carlow player and a Dublin player each won half a million euro.

The winning numbers in last night’s EuroMillions Plus draw were:2, 9, 11, 16 and 28.

One of the winning tickets, sold in Co. Carlow, was won by a player who purchased their ticket on the day of the draw at Centra, Ballon, Co. Carlow.

The second EuroMillions Plus top prize was won in Dublin, with the winning ticket also sold on the day of the draw at Charles Treacy, 191 Philipsburgh Avenue, Marino, Dublin 3.
