Donegal’s Big Win: Two €500,000 Prizes Still Waiting to Be Claimed

Written by Published

A whole lot of excitement is buzzing around Donegal after one EuroMillions player hit a massive €500,000 in Tuesday’s EuroMillions Plus draw. And get this—another €500,000 prize from October is still sitting unclaimed.

A Lucky Quick Pick

The winning Quick Pick ticket for Tuesday’s prize was bought the same day at XL Blaney Stores in Lagg, Milford, Letterkenny. The winning numbers were: 04, 06, 18, 25, 27.

Store owner John Blaney was thrilled when he got the news.
He said he never expected that phone call and hopes one of the locals is now tearing through pockets, drawers, or bags to find their ticket.
Blaney added:

  • “Imagine winning €500,000 right before Christmas!

  • He’s already encouraging all customers to double-check their tickets.

What the Winner Should Do

If you’re the lucky person, the National Lottery has some quick advice:

More than 49,000 players across Ireland picked up prizes from Tuesday night’s EuroMillions and Plus draws. Meanwhile, a player in Belgium grabbed the jaw-dropping €142,433,804 jackpot, putting Friday’s new jackpot at €17 million.


Another Big Prize Still Unclaimed

The National Lottery is also reminding Daily Million Plus players in Donegal to check their tickets from the 2:00 PM draw on Sunday, October 12. That €500,000 top prize still hasn’t been claimed.

  • Ticket bought on Friday, October 10

  • Location: Ardara Filling Station, Portnoo Road, Ardara

  • Winning numbers: 9, 16, 24, 29, 32, 38

  • Bonus number: 5

The deadline to claim is close of business on Saturday, January 10—only 90 days from the draw date.

National Lottery spokesperson Sarah Orr reminded players that the winning ticket could be anywhere—
maybe in a glovebox, purse, jacket pocket, or forgotten drawer.
With the January 10 deadline coming fast, she urges Donegal players to take one more look before that prize disappears for good.
