Irish EuroMillions players should recheck tickets after wrong numbers sent out

Irish EuroMillions players should double-check their tickets, after an error in some reported numbers for Tuesday night's draw.

One player scooped the jackpot worth a massive €212,448,937, and it has been confirmed that the lucky ticket was purchased in the UK.

At the time of writing, the winner has yet to come forward, but they stand to become instantly wealthier than Irish celebrities like Niall Horan (worth €69m), Roy Keane (worth €66m) and Cillian Murphy (worth €18m).

There was some confusion after an extra number was mistakenly included in some reported EuroMillions results. The error appears to have been made by the Press Association, who have since sent out a correction.
