It's no €88.5m jackpot, but we still wouldn't turn our noses up at this.
Irish people have been given an added incentive to play the EuroMillions this Friday, with a guarantee that one of us will win a sweet €1 million as part of the EuroMillions Ireland Only Raffle.
Ten EuroMillions players in Ireland are guaranteed to win €5,000 in the Ireland Only raffle in every EuroMillions draw, but on top of the guaranteed €17 million jackpot this Friday, someone in the country is guaranteed a win of €1 million.
Sure, it’s a far cry from the €88.5 million jackpot claimed by a syndicate in Dublin recently, but you wouldn’t turn your nose up at it either.

Commenting on the Ireland Only Raffle guaranteed €1 million this Friday, National Lottery Chief Executive, Dermot Griffin said: ”There is always a lot of excitement around the EuroMillions draw but this week is extra special as one Irish person is guaranteed to be waking up on Saturday morning as Ireland’s newest millionaire.”
To be in with a chance to win, you have to have got your ticket by 7.30pm this Friday, February 17.
