"Someone in Ireland is a quarter of a billion Euro richer this morning," Emma Monaghan, spokesperson for the National Lottery, told RTÉ Radio's Morning Ireland programme on Wednesday.
Monaghan said that after the numbers were drawn on Tuesday night, a small number of team members got word internally that it was an Irish winner.
"It was all hands on deck last night," Monaghan said. "But, we're delighted with it.
"We're delighted for the winner. It's just such great news for our players."
She added: "They've now become the highest-ever winner of an Irish National Lottery game, so that is some title to hold."
Monaghan said she hadn't heard yet of the winner coming forward and urged everyone to check their EuroMillions tickets very carefully.
"If they are holding the winning ticket," Monaghan said, "the most important thing they can do is to sign the back of it and keep it somewhere safe, and the next step then is to contact our prize claims team."
Monaghan went on to say that the winning ticket was bought in a "retail store somewhere in Ireland."
She added: "We will be releasing more information over the coming days, but that is as much as I can share with you this morning.'
The Irish National Lottery later confirmed the winning EuroMillions ticket was sold in the Munster region of Ireland.
Monaghan encouraged the winner to "stay calm," adding: "I know that may be easier said than done. Have a cup of tea and just let it sink in."
She noted that winners have 90 days to claim their prize, and she's hoping that the EuroMillions Jackpot winner will make contact before then.
"No 'Waking Ned' moments, please," the Morning Ireland host joked.
