Carlow named among Ireland's luckiest EuroMillions counties

Carlow has been named as one of Ireland's luckiest EuroMillions counties.

The South East county is up there with Dublin and Limerick when it comes to striking it lucky in Ireland.

The three counties have scooped more than one billion euro in top prizes since the game began thirteen years ago.

The “fang-tastic” figures were today released during a visit to the iconic National Lottery Winners Room by Dracula to count down to Friday’s spook-tacular Halloween weekend EuroMillions “Ireland’s Only Raffle” which will see one lucky Irish player become an instant millionaire.

This is the third EuroMillions draw this year in which one Irish player is guaranteed to win €1 million. This is in addition to the jackpot which tomorrow night is €17 million.

"Somebody will be howling all the way to the bank this weekend with a guaranteed €1 million up for grabs in Ireland alongside the regular EuroMillions jackpot which is set at a blood curdling €17 million," said Count Dracula, aka Paddy Finlay from Tallaght in Dublin.

"Who wouldn’t want to become Ireland’s latest EuroMillions millionaire. It is enough money to send players batty."
