The EuroMillions jackpot has been won by a player in Ireland for the second time this year.

The jackpot was worth €17m (£14.9m) and there was just one winning ticket.

The winning ticket was bought in the Ulster region, the National Lottery has confirmed.

The ticket matched five numbers and two Lucky Stars.

The numbers in Friday's main EuroMillions draw were: 7, 25, 30, 37, 41 and the Lucky Stars were 5 and 11.

The winning ticket was sold in a shop.

National Lottery spokesperson Emma Monaghan said: "We are absolutely thrilled to announce that an Irish player has won the €17m EuroMillions jackpot in last night's draw.

"This is the second EuroMillions jackpot won in Ireland this year, following the historic €250m (£213m) win in June.

"We're encouraging all players to check their tickets very carefully. If you are the winner, sign the back of your ticket and keep it somewhere safe. We'll reveal more details about the winning location in the coming days."

An online player in County Limerick became the second biggest winner on Friday night after scooping the €500,000 (£439,000) top prize in the EuroMillions Plus draw.
