A syndicate from Dublin has picked up their €86.7m prize after winning the Euromillions jackpot last weekend. It is the fourth Euromillions jackpot prize for Ireland in just over a year.

The National Lottery will release the selling agent details at a later date.

No specifics have been given about the syndicate - except to say they wish to remain anonymous, and the winning ticket was a €6 quick pick.

Speaking at National Lottery offices, the winners said "We're on top of the world."

This latest win brings the total amount won by Euromillions players in Ireland to over €751m.

Ireland is becoming one of the luckiest places in Europe to buy a Euromillions ticket.

Last March, Staunton's Costcutter Express in Castlebar, Co Mayo sold a €15m winning ticket. In September 2013, a man from the south east shared a jackpot of over €25.6m with a player in Spain, taking home €12.8m.

He purchased his lucky ticket in Ardkeen Superstores, Waterford.

While in June 2013 a lucky player scooped €94m in Beaumont, Dublin 9.
