Dolores McNamara of County Limerick checked her ticket in a pub Friday night and discovered she had won the grand prize, which had accumulated after nine weekly rollovers without a winner.

While the media is abuzz over her win, the National Lottery of Ireland said it could not confirm there was a winner until the person came forward with the winning ticket. To win the jackpot, players must match five main numbers from 1 to 50, and 2 Lucky Star numbers from 1 to 9. Euromillions tickets also are sold in Britain, Austria, Belgium, Portugal, France, Luxembourg and Spain.
