“We’re absolutely thrilled to announce that the third largest Lotto Jackpot ever, an incredible €17,008,295, has been won by an online player," Darragh O’Dwyer, National Lottery spokesperson, said.
"This marks the seventh Lotto Jackpot win of 2025, following a roll that began after a €4,038,682 win in Tramore, Co Waterford back in April.
"And with this win, we now celebrate our 17th National Lottery Millionaire of the year!
"As well as our Jackpot winner, in total over 93,000 players won prizes in the Lotto and Lotto plus draws."
The National Lottery has confirmed that a notification and an email has been sent to the online player. The winner is advised to make contact with the National Lottery prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email [email protected] to arrange the collection of your prize.
The National Lottery said on Thursday that it will confirm which county in Ireland where the winning online ticket was purchased tomorrow.
Since the Lotto game launched in 1988, only two Jackpots of more than €17 million have ever been won - €19,060,800 was won in Co Mayo in January 2022, and €18,963,441 was won in Co Carlow in 2008.
The online winner also becomes the seventh Jackpot winner of 2025, joining a winning lineup from Louth, Dublin, Kerry, Limerick, Kilkenny, and Waterford.
And that’s not all, this win also crowns them the 17th National Lottery Millionaire of the year!
