The next day, they discovered that they have won the jackpot.
The golden ticket was bought at a Spar store in Ranelagh.
The victor was the biggest on the night with only one person matching five and one star, and nobody in Europe managing a clean sweep.
Last nights drawn numbers were 09, 24, 42, 47, 49 and the Lucky Stars were 01 and 05.
According to Dublin Live, the National Lottery is encouraging anyone who may played at the store to check their tickets.
Although the Irish ticket holder who will be relatively pleased this morning after picking up the favourable sum, it could have been a whole lot better for the victor as they just fell short of collecting the top prize of €28.5m. The delighted family waited for nearly two weeks to collect their prize.
The family, who wish to remain anonymous, are from the Leinster area and purchased their winning ticket from the Spar on Talbot Street, Dublin, on Saturday August 26th.
A spokesperson for the syndicate said: "We are absolutely delighted with this win".
The Lotto luck continues in Ireland because we have a second millionaire in the space of a few days after one Irish punter pocketed a big sum of money in Friday's EuroMillions draw.
