The winning ticket was purchased at Circle K Dodder on Rathfarnham Road in Rathfarnham, Dublin 14.
A spokesperson said: “I picked up the results in the shop and manually went through them, comparing the results to my ticket.
“As I went through, I was ticking the numbers off, not thinking we would ever have a top prize win.
“I was saying to myself that we matched four numbers, then five and then never expected to be saying we had all six numbers.

They said: “I was visiting a family member when I decided to pop into the shop to pick up our ticket.
“A few days later, I noticed that I had two tickets in my pocket to check.
“There was nothing on the first one and when I checked this one, I could see there was something but no idea how much.
“To be honest, I didn’t even know that there was a €500,000 win that night.
“I assumed it was a smaller prize, so I rang the Claims Team to find out and it was only then that I realised.
“I’m sure the person on the end of the line could hear how shocked I was!”
The EuroMillions Plus winners are now looking forward to booking a holiday to celebrate.
