Massive Irish Lottery Set to Distribute Over $15M in Largest Jackpot of 2022
In the Emerald Isle, the excitement of the Irish Lotto continues to captivate its players, with the latest jackpot of €12,747,756 (US$13.92 million) eluding the grasp of any lucky participant on Saturday, June 19, 2023. The winning counties for this substantial prize have yet to be disclosed.
The Irish Lotto, a twice-weekly draw that requires matching six numbers out of 47, has seen six jackpot wins so far this year, according to National Lottery figures. In the event of multiple winners, the prize is usually divided equally among them, as per the lottery's rules.
Meath County, located less than an hour north of Dublin, has been a fortunate place for lottery players in Ireland, with the village of Duleek in particular having had two significant wins recently: €8.9 million (US$9.72 million) in October and €3.99 million (US$4.35 million) five months later.
However, it was not Duleek that claimed the latest jackpot. Two other players won €61,202 (US$66,850) each in the Match 5 + Bonus game of the Irish Lotto, but the identities of the fortunate individuals who struck it big with the €12.7 million jackpot remain a mystery.
The Irish Lotto has had a rich history, awarding hundreds of millions of euros and boasting 28 jackpots that broke the €10-million mark. The largest Irish lottery jackpot ever recorded, a €250 million EuroMillions win in July 2025, surpasses the 2023 €12.7 million figure, but this is a separate lottery and date.
In the meantime, the winners of the €12.7 million jackpot are urged to come forward and claim their prizes. It is essential to provide proof of identity when claiming a prize, and safeguarding the physical ticket is crucial because the prize is paid to the holder of an unsigned ticket or the person named on it. In cases of dispute, courts may be asked to decide prize ownership.
To protect themselves, winners should sign the back of their tickets as soon as possible to establish ownership and store them securely. Consulting legal or financial advisors early can also help manage and protect a significant windfall. It is worth noting that lottery winnings in Ireland are not subject to taxation, so winners receive their prizes in full without deductions.
As the search for the June 2023 Irish Lotto winners continues, one cannot help but wonder who will be the lucky individuals to claim this life-changing sum. Until then, the €12.7 million jackpot remains Ireland's biggest reported lottery win of the month, with no specific details on the winning counties.
