Lotto results: No winner of jackpot, but over 72,000 players win prizes
Tens of thousands of Lotto players have scooped up prizes in Wednesday's draws.
While there was no winner of the Lotto jackpot, worth a life changing €6,948,223, in total, over 72,000 players won prizes in the Lotto and Lotto Plus draws, including 12 winners who scooped €2,058.
The winning numbers for the main Lotto draw were: 4, 23, 28, 30, 32, 33 and the Bonus 14. There were also 69 winners of the Raffle Prize each receiving €500. The winning raffle code was: 7719.
There was no winner of the Lotto Plus 1 top prize, worth €1 million, but many players won prizes. The winning numbers were: 2, 16, 20, 26, 32, 40 and the Bonus 34.
There was also no winner of the Lotto Plus 2 top prize, worth €250,000, but once again plenty won prizes in the draw. The winning numbers were: 4, 11, 16, 25, 32, 46 and the Bonus 17.
Meanwhile, one lucky punter is waking up to lifechanging news - having won €500,000 in last night's EuroMillions draw.
The draw itself was heralded as 'historic' as the jackpot hit a cap of €250m - but nobody hit the big time on that front this time around.
However one player scooped the tidy €500,000 prize and the location of where that winning ticket was sold has been revealed.
A EuroMillions spokesperson said: "Tuesday night's EuroMillions draw marked a historic moment for players, as the jackpot held steady at its eye-watering cap of €250 million, sparking widespread excitement across Ireland.
"While no ticket matched all seven numbers in the 10th June draw, one Dubliner is waking up €500,000 richer after winning the EuroMillions Plus top prize. The winning Quick Pick ticket was purchased on the day of the draw at O'Ciobhain's SuperValu Swords, Boroimhe, Forest Road, Swords, Co. Dublin.
"The winning numbers in last night's EuroMillions Plus draw were: 4, 6, 11, 28 and 44".

Lottery Q&A: What are my odds and does it matter where I buy a ticket?
The shop that sold this week's winning EuroMillions ticket has been announced, has it? It has indeed. Clifford's Centra on Shandon Street in Cork City supplied the record-breaking €250 million ticket. Good for them. Do they get a big windfall too? Well, big is relative, isn't it? A shop that sells a winning ticket does indeed get a cash bonus from the National Lottery , with the amount depending on the nature of the winning ticket. A place that sells a winning Lotto ticket gets €15,000, falling to three grand if they sell a Lotto Plus 1 and €2,000 if they sell a Lotto Plus 2 ticket. Yeah, but they must really hit pay dirt if they sell a €250 million winner, right? Meh. The size of the cash sum given to shops for any particular lottery is the same no matter the jackpot. For selling a winning EuroMillions ticket, the Shandon Street Centra will collect €25,000. It is not to be sniffed at for sure but it is 0.01 per cent of the jackpot. What makes some of the prizes even less lavish than they first appear is that they have to be shared among shops if there is more than one winner. What do you mean? Well, it doesn't apply in this case, as there was just one winning ticket sold, but if a Lotto or EuroMillions jackpot is shard among two or more ticket holders, then the resulting cash the shops get must also be shared. READ MORE Still, better than nothing. Now, enough about the shops, let's get back to me. I didn't win the EuroMillions but is that because I bought my ticket in the wrong shop? Well, it is worth noting that the odds of winning the EuroMillions jackpot are 140 million to one against, which means you are far more likely to be struck by lightning several times. Mind you, the odds of you being born and able to read this sentence were around four trillion to one and yet that happened. But to get back to your question, the odds stay the same no matter where you buy your ticket although, there do appear to be some shops that are luckier than others. [ Graham Norton's pad and a trip to space: what else could Ireland's newest EuroMillions winner buy with €250m? Opens in new window ] I'm all ears ... Okay, so, there are quite a few shops in line for the title of the luckiest in Ireland. One of the top contenders is Carey's newsagents in Belmullet, Co Mayo. At the end of 2024 it sold the winning ticket for a jackpot worth just under €5.4 million. Back in 2017, one of its customers won €370,000, while in the same year another person – well, we have to hope they were different people – won €1 million in the Daily Million drawn. A year earlier it sold a jackpot-winning ticket worth just under €14 million while in 2015, a customer won the EuroMillions Plus top prize of €500,000. Then there was the €350,000 Lotto Plus 1 ticket it sold in 2012 and another jackpot-winning ticket worth €710,000 in 1991. That must be the luckiest shop in Ireland so? It depends on how you do your calculations. In 2005 the GO Stores in Garryowen, Limerick sold a EuroMillions quick pick to Dolores McNamara and she won €115 million. Ah, but that was a one-off, right? Actually no. In April 2024, the very same shop sold a winning ticket worth just under €9 million. Are there any other contenders? There are of course. There is the SuperValu in Bailieborough, which has sold three jackpot-winning tickets worth a total of almost €12 million. Wallaces in the Wexford town of Wellingtonbridge has also sold three tickets, with the cash value of its biggest prizes coming in at about €5 million. And while 13 might be an unlucky number for some, 2013 was a very lucky year for the Tesco in Mullingar, which sold not one but two jackpot-winning tickets worth a total of more than €11 million. That's a lot of lucky shops And there are more. The Centra in Ballybrack might also stake a claim, having sold a €86.7 million jackpot-winning ticket in 2014, while in 2016 a syndicate of friends won more than €66 million after buying a ticket in the Eason's store in the Fairgreen Shopping Centre in Carlow. Eason's in Thurles also sold a €17 million jackpot-winning ticket in 2018. And what about online? It hasn't done great in the EuroMillions stakes so far, with only one winner, who recorded a €49.5 million haul in 2020. So, tell me this, am I better off buying a ticket in a shop that has sold loads of jackpot-winning tickets or one that has never sold any? If the odds of selling one ticket are long, the odds of selling two or three or four must be immeasurably longer? Honestly, it doesn't make the slightest difference. Your odds of winning the EuroMillions will remain at, as we said, 140 million to one no matter where you buy your ticket. The odds of winning the regular Lotto are almost 11 million to one and no amount of superstition or lucky numbers is going to change that fact.

THE WINNER OF the record €250 million EuroMillions jackpot bought their ticket in Clifford's Centra at 91 Shandon Street in Cork city centre. The National Lottery revealed the name of the store this morning, which is on the north side of the city, after confirming that the ticket was sold in Cork yesterday. The winning ticketholder made contact with the National Lottery yesterday 'after days of speculation', it said. 📞🤩 The moment Clifford's Centra, Shandon Street, Cork City, found out their shop sold the winning #EuroMillions ticket of €250 MILLION! #ItCouldBeYou 18+ Play Responsibly Play for Fun — The Irish National Lottery (@NationalLottery) June 20, 2025 Ted Clifford, the owner of the shop, told RTÉ's Morning Ireland this morning that he was 'very excited'. It's definitely going to be the hottest day of the year in Shandon Street. He said the National Lottery told him yesterday that his store had sold the winning ticket, adding that there is a 'great buzz' among the staff at the shop. Clifford, who is a third generation owner of the Centra, said his store also sold a €100,000 ticket to a local person on New Year's Eve last year. 'I think this is when our luck started for the winning streak.' There is a €25,000 cap on the prize money for the shop that sells the winning ticket. Clifford said he and the staff there are going to have 'a big celebration'. Asked if he had any idea who bought the winning ticket, he said: 'We have no idea. It's a busy shop. A lot of people in and out buying National Lottery. 'I send my warmest congratulations to the winner and their family, and hopefully they'll have good fortune with their money.' The €250 million jackpot was won by the mystery winner on Tuesday. They have become Ireland's 18th winner of the Euromillions and taken the title of the largest ever win in the country. Advertisement Asked if he was the Cork winner by reporters as he arrived in Armagh for the North South Ministerial Council today, Taoiseach Micheál Martin confirmed he was not. ⁉️🤣'Was it you who won the EuroMillions, then Taoiseach?' 💰Taoiseach @MichealMartinTD sharing a joke about winning the EuroMillions. The holder of the winning ticket for a EuroMillions jackpot of €250m (£213m) has come forward, and it is NOT him... Chief Reporter… — Cool FM News (@newsoncool) June 20, 2025 'I was on the One O'Clock news yesterday and actually had checked the ticket, and I was crestfallen before the interview started when they announced that the winner had come forward,' the Fianna Fáil leader joked. Northern Ireland deputy first minister Emma Little-Pengelly said she was sure that if he had won, he would have come today anyway. 'Absolutely,' the Taoiseach said. On Today with Claire Byrne this morning, National Lottery CEO Cian Murphy spoke about the process that took place after the Irish win was announced on Tuesday evening. 'Hundreds of thousands of Irish players checked their tickets, and one of them got that message on the app, which was, 'you're a big winner, contact the National Lottery',' Murphy said. He said the National Lottery has ways of verifying the ticket without actually seeing it. 'There are identifying features on the ticket which are unique to a winning ticket. When somebody calls us, because obviously we do have people calling us who don't have a winning ticket, we're able to verify that pretty quickly over the phone,' he said. 'We knew within a few minutes of the call from the winner that this was, in fact, the winning ticket.' On how the money is transferred to the winner, Murphy said anybody who is the of a winning ticket has to sign the back of the ticket, and they have to nominate a single person who will receive the money into their bank account. 'We write the cheque to that named individual. That gets signed by me and another member of the team. It's exactly the same as any cheque people would have seen, except in this instance, it's €250 million,' he said. 'You take that to your bank account, and I would imagine it'll take them two or three days, and then you open your bank account, and you'll see €250 million.' Murphy added that it is important that someone who wins a life-changing amount of money get independent legal and financial advice, which is something he said National Lottery advise them of early on in the process.
