A Lotto player in the Portumna area is yet to come forward to claim a prize worth €24,224 which was won in the October 7 Lotto draw.
However, they need to move quickly as the deadline for collection runs out in a few weeks.
The Galway player shared the €48,448 Match 5+Bonus prize with a Dublin player after purchasing their winning Quick Pick ticket on the day of the draw at Desmond Salmon on Patrick Street in Portumna.
The winning numbers in the Saturday October 7 Lotto draw were: 23, 25, 28, 32, 33, 44 and the bonus was 29.
As ticketholders have 90 days from the draw date to claim their prize, the claim deadline for this Match 5 + Bonus prize is close of business on Friday January 5.
A National Lottery spokesperson has appealed to Lotto players who may have purchased their tickets in Galway for the October 7 draw to check their old tickets as soon as possible to avoid missing out on this €24,224 prize.
“A Lotto player in Galway will hopefully be celebrating Christmas early by claiming a €24,224 prize which they won back in October.
"The winning ticketholder purchased their winning Quick Pick ticket for the Saturday 7th October on the day of the draw at Desmond Salmon on Patrick Street in Portumna, Co. Galway.
"We are hoping that our Lotto players in the West will check their old tickets that might be stuck in the end of old handbags or glove compartments as soon as possible as the winner has just less than three weeks left to claim their Match 5 + Bonus prize.”
“The winner is advised to sign the back of their ticket, which is now worth €24,224, and to make contact with our prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email [email protected] and arrangements will be made for the winner to visit Lotto HQ as soon as possible.”
Nearly 30 cent in every €1 spent on National Lottery games goes back to Good Causes in the areas of sport, youth, health, welfare, education, arts, heritage and the Irish Language.
"In total, more than €6 billion has been raised for Good Causes since the National Lottery was established 36 years ago. In 2022 alone, €259.5 million was raised for local Good Causes in communities across Ireland.???
