Also, according to the National Lottery, the person who scooped the jackpot has made contact with its prize claims team.
The punter has made history with the prize, becoming the highest-ever winner of an Irish National Lottery game.
Taking place on Tuesday, 17 June, the winning numbers in the draw were as follows: 13, 22, 23, 44, 49, while the lucky stars were 3 and 5.
The record-breaking €250 million win eclipses the €175 million record for the largest cheque presented in the famous Winners' Room.
That winning ticket was sold in Reilly's Daybreak on Main Street, The Naul in Dublin in February 2019.
"We are absolutely thrilled to have heard from our EuroMillions winner," said Emma Monaghan, spokesperson for the National Lottery, in a statement.
"At this point, our priority is to give them the necessary time and space to make arrangements and let this life-changing news sink in.
"No other details will be revealed at this stage; however, the name of the winning Cork shop will be announced tomorrow."
The main EuroMillions jackpot reached its maximum cap of €250 million on Friday, 6 June 2025, meaning that the prize could not grow any further.
The lucky punter who scooped the jackpot has become Ireland’s 18th winner of the EuroMillions top prize.
