$5,000 Welcome Bonus
One lucky EuroMillions player is celebrating becoming a multi-millionaire after winning Friday night's massive jackpot.
There was just one winner of the draw worth over a staggering €113 million.
The National Lottery has already confirmed that the winning ticket was sold in Spain, which is bad news for Irish punters hoping for a big payday.
The winning numbers were 6, 12, 44, 47, 49, with Lucky Stars 8 and 12.
It was not all bad luck for Lotto players in Ireland however, as more than 74,000 people here won prizes in the EuroMillions and Plus games.
As well as that good news, someone will wake up as the country's newest millionaire on Saturday after scooping a cool €1 million.
As part of a new fortnight-long Euromillions promotion, five brand new millionaires are guaranteed in Ireland over the next two weeks with a special 'Ireland only raffle' taking place after each draw.
The huge prize won in the Ireland Only Raffle on Friday night has the winning code of I-LLD-48404.
There was no winner of the Euromillions Plus top prize of €500,000.
The chosen numbers were 7, 8, 16, 36 and 36.
Some 95 people won €2,000 in this draw after matching four numbers.
While in the main EuroMillions draw, five people across Europe won almost €222,000 each after matching five numbers and a Lucky Star.
It comes after an online National Lottery player in Co Wicklow woke up as Ireland’s newest millionaire on Wednesday morning.
Tuesday night's draw saw the first of five Ireland-only winners being crowned - with a Wicklow player having the lucky code of I-LKT-14595.
Two online players also scooped €500,000 apiece as a result of the Euromillions Plus and Daily Million Plus draws on Tuesday.
The Dublin online player who scooped the EuroMillions Plus top prize of €500,000 won by selecting their own lucky numbers on a ticket they purchased online on the day of the draw.
The other online player from Co Meath who won in Tuesday's Daily Million Plus top prize played a Normal Play ticket which also meant that they selected their own numbers to win them their half a million euro prize.
