The winning numbers for the main EuroMillions draw were: 1, 9, 13, 35, 40 and Lucky Stars 5 and 6. Among the winners, 10 lucky players earned €5,000 each through the Ireland Only Raffle, showcasing the excitement surrounding the game.

In a remarkable turn of events, a family syndicate from Co Mayo recently made headlines after winning the third-highest Lotto jackpot in Irish history—an incredible €17,008,295. They matched all six numbers plus the bonus in the Lotto draw on August 27, 2023. This monumental win was celebrated as they collected their cheque from the National Lottery HQ earlier this week.

Since its inception in 1988, only two Lotto jackpots have ever exceeded €17 million, marking this family syndicate as the third largest jackpot winners in Ireland’s Lotto history. Their winning ticket was purchased online, indicating the growing trend of digital lottery participation.
