The owner of a Euromillions ticket worth just under €24m is being urged to sign it and keep it safely hidden.

One lucky Irish winner has scooped the €23,845,060 jackpot in yesterday’s draw.

The winning numbers are 2, 11, 13, 40 and 50. The Lucky Stars numbers were 1 and 10.

It is the ninth time that the Euromillions jackpot has been won in Ireland.

National Lottery said it will be some time before they reveal where the ticket was sold.

“We won’t actually be announcing the location, or indeed when the ticket was sold until next week,” said National Lottery spokesman Ronan Leech.

“But what we could advise, naturally, to all our players, would be to check their tickets.
