Euromillions was officially launched in 2004 and only had to wait a year before having its first Irish jackpot winner.
Limerick native Dolores McNamara was on a night out with friends in 2005 when she found out she had won a cool €115million.
The second biggest Euromillions win in Ireland happened in 2013 when one lucky player collected €94million at the Lotto headquarters in Dublin.
The winner, who chose to remain anonymous, became the 96th richest person in Ireland after collecting their winnings.
One lucky Irish couple also took home a €15million jackpot jackpot in 2008, while an anonymous Irish family won a breezy €29.4million a year later.
