Dublin Lotto winner urged to claim €500,000 prize as deadline looms

A Dublin Lotto player is being urged to collect their unclaimed €500,000 prize, with just over a month left to claim it.

The Quick Pick EuroMillions ticket was purchased in Dunnes Stores in Kilnamanagh in Tallaght two weeks ago on February 24, and the winner is advised to sign the back of the ticket and keep it safe until they claim it. The Dublin player wasn't the only lucky winner with a punter in Cork also scooping up €50,000 winnings from the Ireland Only Raffle.

The National Lottery has this week renewed their appeal for the Dublin and Cork winners to come forward to claim their prizes. A spokeswoman for the National Lottery said: "Today we’re asking all of our EuroMillions players, especially in Cork and Dublin, to check their tickets to see if they are the latest winners of a life-changing lottery prize.

“The ticket holders are advised to sign the back of their winning ticket and to keep it safe. Ticketholders have 90 days from the date of the draw to claim their prize which means that the Dublin winner has slightly over 6 weeks left to claim their prize. The claim deadline for this prize is close of business on Monday 24^th April."

The winner can make contact with the National Lottery prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie and arrangements will be made for them to claim their prize.
