A EuroMillions jackpot of €250m (£213m) has been won by a ticket holder in Ireland, the Irish National Lottery has said.

This is said to be the largest ever EuroMillions jackpot to be won in Ireland.

The winning numbers are 13, 22, 23, 44, 49, Lucky Stars 3 and 5.

National Lottery CEO Cian Murphy advised players to check their tickets carefully, saying they will reveal the winning location as soon as they can.

The winner has 90 days to claim the prize.

It has been confirmed that the winning ticket was sold in a shop and not online.

"We are absolutely thrilled to see this incredible and record win for an Irish EuroMillions player," said Cian Murphy.

"We are advising our players to check their tickets and if they are the winner, sign the back of the ticket, keep it safe, and contact National Lottery HQ and we will guide you through the claims process," he said.

The €500,000 EuroMillions Plus prize has also been claimed in tonight's draw.

Speaking on the Irish broadcaster RTÉ, Emma Monaghan from the National Lottery advised the winner to stay calm "if at all possible".

"I know that might be easier said than done. Have a cup of tea and just let it sink in."
