One Irish EuroMillions Player Guaranteed to Win €1 Million
An Irish EuroMillions player is guaranteed to win €1 million in the draw on Friday 17th February thanks to the Ireland Only Raffle. The supplementary game usually distributes ten prizes of €5,000 but, in the forthcoming special draw, one of those winners will also receive the additional seven-figure sum.
The Ireland Only Raffle was introduced in September 2016, when a number of changes were made to EuroMillions across Europe. Players in the Republic are automatically entered into the raffle when they play the main game, with one code automatically generated for every EuroMillions line they played. Only codes created for that draw are entered, meaning that there will always be ten winners of the €5,000 prize.
The lucky Ireland Only Raffle participants on Friday 17th February will be placed into a further draw to determine the winner of the special €1 million prize. The sum must be paid out on the day, meaning there will definitely be a new Irish millionaire minted, no matter what happens in the main game.
You can play EuroMillions online at the Tickets page, with physical entries available at authorised retailers across the country. Good luck!
