It’s a mighty amount of money.

Cork Euromillions players have been urged to check their tickets carefully after Corcoran’s Centra in Rushbrooke Centre, Cobh sold the winning ticket for Friday night’s EuroMillions Ireland Only Raffle draw worth €1,005,000.

In every EuroMillions draw, the ‘Ireland Only Raffle’ sees 10 raffle codes generated with each winning €5,000. All 10 winning raffle codes drawn in Friday night’s draw were put into an additional draw to see which one of the 10 codes would win the Must Be Won €1 million amount, on top of the usual €5,000 prize for the category.

The ‘Ireland Only Raffle’ winning raffle code to look out for is: I-QQN-12284.

“We are appealing to all of our players in the Cork area to make sure to check their tickets carefully, especially the Raffle codes, as one player has a life-changing prize waiting to be claimed.” said Sarah Ruane, Spokesperson from the National Lottery.

“The first thing the winner should do is sign the back of their ticket and keep it safe. They should then make contact with our prize claims team who will make arrangements for them to visit Lotto HQ to collect their incredible prize.”

‘It’s our first big win in the store’

Owner of the store Alan Corcoran said he was over the moon to get the call, as this is the biggest win his store has had to date: “I’m absolutely delighted, I cannot put into words what this means for us!” he said.

“It’s our first big win in the store and we just hope it’s one of our loyal regular customers. We’re definitely going to share this joy with our hardworking staff and give them a little treat.

The National Lottery has urged all players in the Rebel County to check their tickets very carefully and, if they are the winner, contact the prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie and arrangements will be made for them to collect their prize at Lotto HQ.
