One day
National Lottery chief executive, Dermot Griffin, today called on all EuroMillions players to check their tickets ahead of the prize deadline.
He said: “With just over 24 hours to go until this deadline, I am once again appealing to all of our players, especially those in Cork, to check old tickets.
"Rummage in your handbags, wallets or purses, check on top of the fridge, the glove compartments of the car, coat pockets, wherever you keep your tickets.
"Somebody has won this prize and it would be a fantastic story if the winner was to find out about their good fortune at the last minute.”
Ticketholders are allowed 90 days from the date of a winning draw to claim their prize in person at National Lottery HQ in Dublin.
Winners are advised to sign the back of their ticket and call the National Lottery Prize Claims Team on 01 836 4444.
Tickets can be checked in store or through the National Lottery App.
