On this occasion, one fortunate individual had an additional €1,000,000 added to their prize, bringing their total winnings to €1,005,000. The winning raffle code for this life-changing sum was I-RRL-38642. The National Lottery has confirmed that the winner has come forward, and arrangements are being made for them to collect their prize. This marks the fourth National Lottery millionaire in Ireland for the year 2025.

This significant win adds to the growing list of substantial EuroMillions prizes claimed by UK participants.
