One lucky (or unlucky ) Galway Lotto player has just hours to search pockets and handbags as the clock strikes zero tomorrow on claim time for a €24,000 winning ticket bought on October 7.
The Galway player shared the €48,448 Match 5+Bonus prize with a Dublin player back in October 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 is fast-approaching for this Match 5 + Bonus prize and is close of business tomorrow Friday January 4 2024.
A National Lottery spokesperson has urged all 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.
“We are eager to hear from the Galway Lotto player who matched five numbers and the bonus in the Saturday 7th October draw to win €24,224 as the deadline to claim is just a week away.
The ticketholder purchased their winning Quick Pick ticket 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 as soon as possible as the last date to claim this prize is close of business on Friday 5th January.”
“The winner should sign the back of their ticket, which is now worth €24,224, and 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.”
