A EuroMillions player has kicked off their May Bank Holiday weekend in style — after netting a massive €500,000.

While the country is just coming down from the high of a Dublin punter winning half a million in the EuroMillions Plus draw on April 25, it didn’t take long for another win to come — as a lucky punter scooped the €500k top prize in the EuroMillions Plus just one week later.

The winning numbers from the Friday, May 1 EuroMillions Plus draw are: 12, 37, 38, 49, 50.

The National Lottery has confirmed that the winning ticket was purchased in Limerick, with the winning Quick Pick ticket being purchased on Wednesday, April 29 at Tesco in the Crescent Shopping Centre, Dooradoyle, Co Limerick.

The winner is advised to sign the back of their ticket and keep it safe. From there, they should contact the Prize Claims team on 1800 666 222, or email claims@lottery.ie, where arrangements will be made for them to collect their winning prize.

‘What a way to start the month – that’s if you’re a EuroMillions player in Limerick who is now holding a top prize-winning ticket!’ National Lottery spokesperson Sarah Orr said.

‘We are encouraging all of our players in the Dooradoyle area who may have purchased their tickets for last night’s draw at Tesco in the Crescent Shopping Centre to carefully check their tickets today as one person has won €500,000.

‘Friday night’s draw saw over 46,000 players in Ireland win prizes across the EuroMillions and Plus draws with the Limerick player taking the title of biggest winner of the night.’

There was no winner of the EuroMillions jackpot on Friday night, meaning that the jackpot will now roll over to €50million on Tuesday.
