Key Takeaways
- Single Irish player wins $9.37 million (EUR 8.22 million) Saturday jackpot.

Saturday Draw Results and Winning Numbers
The yet-to-be-identified ticket holder successfully matched all the required numbers in the Saturday night drawing to secure the $9.37 million (EUR 8.22 million) grand prize. The winning numbers drawn for the seven-figure jackpot were 23, 24, 25, 42, 43, and 46, along with the bonus number 37, generating excitement seen across many top online lottery games worldwide.
According to the National Lottery, this individual represents the fourth jackpot winner recorded so far in 2026. The organization confirmed it will release further information regarding the win in the coming days. This upcoming disclosure is expected to include the specific regional location and retail venue where the winning ticket was purchased.
Match 5 Plus Bonus Winners in Clare, Mayo, and Dublin
In addition to the primary jackpot, the Saturday drawing yielded significant secondary rewards for multiple participants. Three players successfully secured the Match 5 plus Bonus prizes, with each winning ticket worth $101,982 (EUR 89,430).
National Lottery spokesperson Darragh O’Dwyer noted that these three winning tickets were purchased in the counties of Clare, Mayo, and Dublin. All three of these secondary prize-winning tickets were bought using the Quick Pick option. This system allows players to randomize their ticket numbers automatically, enabling them to bypass the process of manually selecting numbers or agonizing over numerology. The organization is urging everyone to check their numbers to see if they have secured one of these three smaller, but still significant, rewards.
National Lottery Urges Ticket Verification
With the grand prize and multiple secondary prizes still unclaimed, the National Lottery is actively encouraging all participants from the weekend draw to review their purchases. Officials want to ensure players double-check their tickets to see if they have won the grand prize themselves before the claim period expires, a crucial step whether verifying local tickets or checking Mega Millions winning numbers internationally.
“Someone in Ireland is now holding a ticket worth an incredible $9.37 million," stated National Lottery spokesperson Darragh O’Dwyer. "With a jackpot-winning ticket now out there somewhere in Ireland, we’re encouraging players who bought a ticket for Saturday night’s draw to check it carefully."
