The National Lottery are urging Lotto players in North County Dublin to check their old tickets from the Saturday 23rd December draw as the Lotto Plus Raffle winner who scooped €1,000,500 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 Eve draw saw ONE Dublin player enjoy an even higher windfall due to a special Raffle event.
Each of the tickets with the winning Lotto Plus Raffle number drawn in the draw were entered into a once-off random draw where one ticket was selected to win an additional prize of €1 million. While every ticket holder who had the winning Raffle number won €500, one player has won €1 million, in addition to the usual €500 prize.
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!”
“We are ready to welcome the Lotto Plus Raffle winner into the Winners Room in Lotto HQ. The Lusk winner should sign the back of their ticket and contact our claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie and arrangements will be made for them to collect their life-changing amount.”
