If you’ve been in Cork or Waterford recently, you might want to check your lottery tickets

Lotto 2.5 million winner

Go on, fish it out of your wallet or check down the back of the couch. The National Lottery is looking to make two ticket-holders very, very happy.

Almost €10m in prize money is currently unclaimed as the National Lottery calls for people to check any Lotto or EuroMillions tickets they may have bought recently.

Saturday’s Lotto draw saw one winner of the jackpot totalling €8.3m, while another lucky punter claimed €1m in Friday’s EuroMillions ‘Ireland Only Raffle’.

The winning Lotto jackpot ticket was sold in Dunnes Stores in Bishopstown Court Shopping Centre, Bishopstown, Cork, whilst the Ireland Only Raffle ticket was sold in the Aramark shop in University Hospital Waterford.

The winning Lotto numbers are: 3, 4, 5, 19, 26, 43 and Bonus number 24.

And the raffle code from Friday’s Euromillions Draw is 1 DZW 38394

A National Lottery spokesperson said: “This is one of the highest Lotto jackpots wins this year. The jackpot was rolling since June 20th and the amount raised for Good Causes through Lotto sales during this period is an incredible €10.9 million. Almost 30 cent in every Euro spent on National Lottery games goes back to Good Causes all over Ireland so communities everywhere are winners.”

The National Lottery is advising players to check their numbers and if they have won one of these mega prizes sign the back of the ticket and keep it safe until contact is made with Lotto HQ which opens after the Bank Holiday weekend tomorrow at 9 a.m .
