Unclaimed €500,000 Euromillions ticket from Kilmoon
An outstanding EuroMillions prize from Co Meath remaining to be collected is a EuroMillions Plus top prize win of €500,000 from Tuesday, 26th September. The winning Quick Pick ticket was sold at Kilmoon Service Station in Ashbourne.
The National Lottery have today appealed to players in Clare, Kildare, Leitrim, Meath, Westmeath and Wexford to check their tickets as EuroMillions and Lotto prizes worth almost €1.4 million remain unclaimed.
Among the unclaimed prizes is a €1 million EuroMillions 'Ireland Only Raffle' prize from Friday 27th October. The winning Quick Pick ticket was sold at the Attyfinlay Service Station in Carrick on Shannon in Co. Leitrim.
Other unclaimed prizes include a €500,000 EuroMillions plus prize from Clare, a €220,690 Lotto Match 5 + Bonus prize from Kildare and two separate €78,817 Lotto Match 5 + Bonus prizes from Wexford and Westmeath.
National Lottery Chief Executive Dermot Griffin has called on players to routinely check their tickets after each draw to ensure they do not miss out on a once in a lifetime lottery windfall.
“With hundreds of thousands of National Lottery winners each and every week, it is vital that players ensure that they check their tickets after each draw. It has never been easier to check tickets in-store, online or on the National Lottery App.”
National Lottery game rules state that players have 90 days from the date of the draw to claim their prize. Any prizes not claimed within 90 days become expired, and in accordance with the licence are used to promote the National Lottery and so increase the funds raised for good causes.
“We are still waiting to hear from a number of significant winners who could be oblivious to the fact that they are sitting on some very valuable lottery tickets. If you are one of the ticketholders of these prizes, sign the back of your ticket and contact the National Lottery on 01-8364444 to make arrangements to collect your prize,” he added.
The National Lottery has confirmed that the winning ticketholder of the €5,868,553 Lotto jackpot from Saturday 25th November has made contact. The winning Quick Pick ticket was sold in the General Post Office (GPO) on Cecil Street in Limerick City.
The latest jackpot win in Limerick City marks the 11th Lotto jackpot win of 2017 with players sharing in excess of €65 million in Lotto jackpot prizes alone.
A National Lottery spokesperson has also confirmed that the Waterford winners of last Friday’s (24th November) €1 million EuroMillions ‘Ireland Only Raffle’ prize have also made contact. Arrangements are now being made for the winners to collect their prizes. Tonight’s EuroMillions jackpot is a massive €80 million.
