The winning Quick Pick ticket was purchased on the day of the draw at XL Blaney Stores in Lagg, Milford, Letterkenny.
The lucky winner will receive a whopping €500,000.

He said: ‘Well, I certainly wasn’t expecting this call today!
‘Most of our customers are local so hopefully someone nearby is hearing this and is now busy checking their ticket. I imagine there will be lots of celebrations!
‘We will be encouraging all of our customers to check their tickets today – imagine, €500,000 right before Christmas!,’ he added. ‘We wish the winner all the very best with their win and hope they really enjoy it.’
Over 49,000 players in Ireland won prizes in the EuroMillions and Plus draws on Tuesday night. A player in Belgium won the staggering €142,433,804 jackpot on offer which means that Friday’s jackpot is set to be €17 million.
Meanwhile, the National Lottery is continuing to appeal to Daily Million Plus players in Donegal to check their tickets from the 2pm draw on Sunday, October 12, as the top prize of €500,000 remains unclaimed.
The winning ticket was purchased on Friday, October 10, at Ardara Filling Station, Portnoo Road, Ardara. The winning numbers were: 9, 16, 24, 29, 32, 38, and the Bonus number was 5.
As National Lottery ticket holders have 90 days from the draw date to claim their prize, the deadline for this top prize amount is the close of business on Saturday, January 10.
National Lottery spokesperson Sarah Orr said: ‘We are appealing to all of our Daily Million Plus players who may have purchased their tickets at the Ardara Filling Station on the Portnoo Road in Ardara on Friday 10th October to carefully check their tickets from the 2pm draw on Sunday 12th October.
‘The winning ticket could be sitting in a glove box or in a handbag right now and with the claim deadline fast approaching on 10th January, we are urging all of our Donegal players to take a look over their old tickets as one person has a €500,000 prize waiting for them.’
