Single ticket-holder wins 'biggest ever' EuroMillions jackpot

A single ticket-holder from Ireland has won the 250 million euro EuroMillions jackpot, the Irish National Lottery said.

Ireland's lottery said it was the "biggest ever EuroMillions jackpot," and its chief executive said it would reveal the winning location soon.

The winning numbers from Tuesday's draw - which had rolled over several times - were 13, 22, 23, 44 and 49, with lucky stars 3 and 5.

The EuroMillions jackpot is capped once it reaches 250 million euros - or £208m.

According to the EuroMillions website, Tuesday's jackpot was £213.65 million. It added there were a total of 3,959,140 winners.

In total, more than 92,000 players in Ireland won prizes in the EuroMillions and Plus games.

Irish National Lottery chief executive Cian Murphy said: "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."

Mr Murphy added that "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."

Two British players, meanwhile, took home prizes of £6,287,001.20 for having the five winning numbers and one of the lucky stars.
