The National Lottery has revealed that the winning player is from Waterford and won an incredible €405,711 after matching five numbers and one lucky star in the EuroMillions draw.
The winning Quick Pick ticket was purchased on the day of the draw at Mulhearns Foodstore at The Square in Kilmacthomas, Co. Waterford.
The winning numbers in the EuroMillions draw on Halloween night, Friday October 31, were: 05, 14, 38, 43, 45 and lucky stars 07 and 11.
There was further good news for a EuroMillions player from Wicklow, who matched five numbers to scoop €31,607 in the draw. The Match 5 winner purchased their winning Quick Pick ticket on the day of the draw at Earl’s on Abbey Street in Wicklow Town.
EuroMillions players in Waterford and Wicklow have been advised to check their tickets very carefully and the winners told to sign the back of their tickets and keep them safe.
The lucky prizewinners should contact the Prize Claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie and arrangements will be made for them to collect their prizes.
National Lottery spokesperson Sarah Orr said: “Two of our EuroMillions players will undoubtedly always remember Halloween 2025 as being a big one! A Waterford player became the biggest winner of the night after matching five numbers and one lucky star to win an incredible €405,711 while a Wicklow player matched five numbers to win an impressive €31,607.
“We are encouraging all of our players who may have purchased their tickets in Waterford and Wicklow to check them carefully today and to make contact with our Prize Claims team.
“While last night’s draw saw over 47,000 players in Ireland win prizes across the EuroMillions and EuroMillions Plus draws, there was no winner of the staggering €75,635,350 jackpot on offer. Tuesday night’s jackpot is now set to roll towards an estimated €85 million.”
A jackpot of an estimated €3 million, meanwhile, is up for grabs in the National Lottery draw on Saturday, November 1.
