Galway are being urged to check their tickets today after one lucky EuroMillions player won the €500,000 EuroMillions Plus top prize in Friday night’s draw.

I really hope that this win is the start of all things good! Our store is one of the largest SuperValu shops in the country – we employ 170 people so this is sure to be the most popular topic of conversation in every household in the town.”
