Lotto winners running out of time to get Christmas prizes as five-figure sums still not claimed

The National Lottery are appealing to Lotto players in Galway and Roscommon to check their tickets carefully from the Christmas Day draw - as they have still yet to claim a prize worth over €20,000.

Anyone who wins anything on any Lotto draw has just 90 days to claim their prizes.

Which means that those two players have less than a month to claim their Match 5 prize of €22,778 each.

If they haven't claimed it by March 25, the prize will be used to help the various good causes by Lotto.

The winning Lotto numbers for the Saturday 25th December 2021 draw were: 11, 17, 19, 23, 26, 43 and the bonus 31.

The winning tickets were both purchased on Friday 24th December 2021.

The Galway ticket holder purchased their ticket at Mannion’s Supermarkets & Emo Service Station on the Miltown Road in Tuam, Co. Galway while the Roscommon player won their share of the Match 5 prize fund after purchasing their ticket at Mulvihill’s Newsagents on the Main Street in Castlerea, Co. Roscommon.

A National Lottery spokesperson said: "While the Christmas Day Lotto draw saw 36 players nationwide match five numbers each to share a boosted prize fund worth over €820,000 due to the capped Lotto jackpot, we are yet to hear from two of the lucky winners.

"We are appealing to players in Galway and Roscommon who purchased their tickets on Christmas Eve for the Christmas Day draw to carefully check their tickets to ensure that they do not miss out on claiming either of these prizes which are worth €22,778 each.

"The Galway winner purchased their ticket at Mannion’s Supermarkets & Emo Service Station on the Miltown Road in Tuam, Co. Galway while the Roscommon player bought their winning ticket at Mulvihill’s Newsagents on the Main Street in Castlerea, Co. Roscommon.

"If you are either of these lucky winners, you should sign the back of your ticket and keep it safe. You can contact our prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie and arrangements will be made for you to claim your prize. Don’t forget that the final date to claim these prizes is close of business on Friday 25th March."
