A woman from Wicklow is celebrating a dream-come-true moment after winning €500,000 in the Ireland EuroMillions Plus draw. Her lucky ticket, bought at a Lidl store in Bray, has turned her into Ireland’s latest big lottery winner.
A Longtime Player’s Big Moment
The lucky winner, who has chosen to stay anonymous, has been a regular lottery player for years—always hopeful, always playing. This time, her patience paid off as she matched all five numbers in the EuroMillions Plus draw, landing the game’s top prize of €500,00.
Recalling the moment she realized she had won, she described it as “absolutely surreal,” admitting that she checked her ticket multiple times before believing it. Like many players, she had often imagined what she’d do if she won big—and now, that day has arrived.
Where Was the Winning Ticket Bought?
Her life-changing Ireland EuroMillions Plus ticket was purchased at a Lidl store in Bray, County Wicklow. When big wins happen, retailers who sell the lucky tickets often share in the excitement.
A Lidl Ireland spokesperson expressed their joy, saying, “It’s always exciting when one of our customers wins such a significant prize. We wish them all the best with their newfound fortune.”
What’s Next for the Lucky Winner?
With €500,000 in her bank account, the Wicklow woman is taking time to plan her next steps. She has already shared a few ideas on how she’ll use her winnings, including:
- Paying off her mortgage and debts
- Helping out her family
- Taking a dream vacation
- Investing for the future
Many Ireland EuroMillions Plus winners choose to use their prize wisely—paying off loans, securing their financial future, or even giving back to their community. Others indulge in well-deserved luxuries like new cars, home renovations, or memorable travel experiences.
How to Play and Win Ireland EuroMillions Plus
