A Laois man has become Ireland’s fifth Daily Million millionaire of 2025 after he scooped a life-changing €1 million prize in the 9pm draw last Friday.

The National Lottery said the long-time Daily Million player wasted no time in making his way to its headquarters to claim his seven-figure cheque, keeping the winning ticket safely tucked away in his wallet since the draw!

The Laois man explained how this felt like a well-deserved win: "I am delighted with this win. I'm looking forward to being able to share the win with my family.

"I have a strong work ethic so my goal is to be sensible with the win, pursue some business interests, but also enjoy more time for myself and with my family."

The lucky ticket was sold at Dunnes Stores Kyle Shopping Centre in Portlaoise on the day of the draw last Friday.

The lotto jackpot tonight (Wednesday) is heading towards an estimated €12.2 million.
