NATIONAL: €1 million Lotto winner yet to come forward

Lotto players in Co Dublin have been urged to check their old tickets as a €1 million winner is yet to come forward.

A player in North County Dublin that scooped €1,000,500 from the Saturday December 23 draw as the Lotto Plus Raffle winner  is yet to come forward. 

The winning Quick Pick ticket was purchased at the Applegreen Roundtower Service Station in Lusk and the winning Raffle number was: 9652.  

The Dublin player won the life-changing amount in a special event which saw a €1 million boost to the Lotto Plus Raffle prize fund for the 23rd December draw.  

The Lotto Plus Raffle typically sees between 60 and 120 winners of €500 in every draw but the Christmas Eve draw saw one Dublin player enjoy an even higher windfall due to a special Raffle event.   

The Lusk winner is advised to sign the back of their ticket and to keep it safe. They should 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 collect their €1,000,500 prize at Lotto HQ.  

A National Lottery spokesperson said: “A Lotto player in North County Dublin currently has a ticket from the 23rd December draw worth over €1 million which they are yet to make contact about. We are advising all of our players who purchased a ticket in the Lusk area for that particular draw to carefully check their old tickets as soon as possible. That particular draw was held the night before Christmas Eve so the winner could have been out Christmas shopping or visiting relatives and it could ring a bell. The winning ticket was a Quick Pick which was purchased the Applegreen Roundtower service station in Lusk. Hopefully this will ring a bell with one of our players and get their January off to a flying start!”
