So… someone in Ireland just won the €39m EuroMillions jackpot

There is one winner of the €39m Euromillions jackpot... and they're in Ireland.

Yes, the winning ticket was sold on home-soil; the lucky ticket-holder scooped €38,906,715. Phew. The winning numbers were 4, 8, 22, 23, 48 with the Lucky Stars numbers being 1 and 12. It’s not yet known where exactly in the country the ticket was sold. https://twitter.com/NationalLottery/status/946858534674862080 This is the 13th time a jackpot winning ticket has been sold in Ireland, and the third time this year; in January, for example, someone won €88m. Of course, the biggest win remains the €115m picked up by Dolores McNamara back in 2005. Otherwise, there was a €94m win in Dublin in 2013. Also on Friday, it was announced that a Mayo priest picked up a cool €500K in a EuroMillions draw.
