The first of four guaranteed EuroMillions millionaires this month has secured a life-changing payday after winning Friday night's special Ireland Only raffle.
Last night marked the beginning of a four-week run of special draws which will guarantee to make four EuroMillions players in Ireland millionaires.
Players in Leitrim are being urged to check their tickets for the winning code, I-RCJ-65292, after all players who purchased a ticket for last night's draw were automatically entered into the Ireland Only raffle, which guarantees €1million on top of the usual €5,000 prize.

The shop that sold the winning ticket will be announced tomorrow, Sunday September 8, meanwhile the winner has been advised to sign the back of the ticket and keep it safe as they make contact with the prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or via email at claims@lottery.ie.
"I imagine there are big celebrations taking place in Leitrim today after one player took the title of Ireland’s newest millionaire," National Lottery spokesperson Sarah Orr said.
"September promises to be a big month for our players with €1 million guaranteed to be won in four draws across the month. The 6th September draw was the first draw of the ‘4 more millionaires’ promotion with a special Ireland Only Raffle. This resulted in a Leitrim player scooping €1,005,000 in the Raffle, instead of the usual €5,000 for the prize tier.
"We are advising all of our players in Leitrim to carefully check their tickets today for the Raffle code I-RCJ-65292 as that is the ticket worth a life-changing amount. The winner should make contact with our prize claims team who will make arrangements for them to visit our Winners Room and collect the incredible amount.
"Over 64,000 players in Ireland won prizes in the EuroMillions and EuroMillions Plus draws on Friday night with the Leitrim player of course taking the title of biggest winner of the night in Ireland. As the €149,017,789 jackpot was won by a player in Belgium, Tuesday’s jackpot is now guaranteed to be €17 million."
Three more millionaires are guaranteed throughout the month, with similar draws taking place on September 13 and 20, before a Lotto Plus Raffle draw on Saturday, September 28.
