Irish punter wins €66m in EuroMillions

The scramble for wallets and purses began last night as it emerged that an Irish EuroMillions player scooped €66m in the weekend draw.

The half-share in a jackpot of €132,376,632 means one winner, or group of players, can claim the third-highest amount won in Ireland since the game began in 2004. The winning numbers were 1, 5, 23, 29, 32, and Lucky Stars 1 and 7.
