Dublin Sees Lottery Luck Continue as EuroMillions Winner Claims €500,000 Prize

Dublin residents are experiencing a remarkable streak of lottery wins, with another EuroMillions Plus prize claimed this week. A Dublin 9 player has come forward to collect €500,000, marking the second significant win on the same street in just one week. The National Lottery confirmed the win on Tuesday, February 24, 2026.

Lucky Ticket Purchased in Drumcondra

The winning ticket was purchased at Centra on Lower Drumcondra Road. The winner described the ticket as feeling “like the heaviest bit of paper” he had ever carried. He collected his prize at National Lottery headquarters this week, expressing his disbelief and excitement.

Plans for the Windfall

The Dublin man intends to use the winnings for home renovations and to fulfill a long-held dream of traveling abroad. He specifically mentioned Lisbon and Rome as potential destinations for an extended stay of two to three months.

Second Win on Drumcondra Street

This win follows closely on the heels of another Dublin 9 player winning €1,005,000 in the special EuroMillions Ireland Only Raffle earlier this month. That winning ticket was purchased at a Spar store on Drumcondra Road Upper, just over a mile from the Centra location.
