Two bettors from Cork came within just one number of winning € 60 million.
There was no winner of Friday’s EuroMillions jackpot, but the two Irish players took home € 123,876.
Winning tickets were sold at the Bandon Books store at the Riverview Shopping Center in Bandon and at the Gannon gas station at Newmarket in North Cork.
The Bandon Books store is no stranger to big EuroMillions wins, having previously sold a EuroMillions raffle prize of € 1 million in August 2020. Carmel Hayes, Bandon Books store operator, said: “What a way starting the weekend for one of our clients. We got the call with the good news from the National Lottery last night and the city of Bandon has been absolutely bustling ever since.
“As a retailer, there is an incredible sense of satisfaction selling a large winning lottery ticket to one of your customers. We are getting a lot of hopeful locals coming to check their tickets this morning so hopefully the winner will be aware of their victory at this stage. With blocking restrictions, it is more than likely that it will be a local, but whoever it is, we hope they enjoy every part of the victory, “he said.
Players matched five numbers plus a lucky star to win the prize.
