Cork Lotto player has 48 hours left to claim €50k EuroMillions prize as shop owner makes final appeal

A Cork shop owner is urging his customers to check their tickets with less than 48 hours left to claim a big prize.

A EuroMillions player in the Turners Cross area of Cork city has just two days left to claim their ‘Ireland Only Raffle’ prize worth a whopping €50,000.

National Lottery bosses continue to appeal to EuroMillions players in the area to check their old tickets from the draw on December 13.

The winning Normal Play ticket was purchased on Sunday, December 11 at O’Hare’s Mace at Turners Cross in Cork City.

Fergus O’Hare, Group Operations Manager of O’Hare’s Mace store in Turners Cross in Cork City has been calling on his customers to check their tickets ahead of Wednesday’s deadline.

“It’s a popular local shop on the outskirts of Cork City and we’re confident that the vast majority of our customers are from the local community,” he said.

“There was great excitement locally when the prize was originally won back in December so its surprising that it still hasn’t been claimed after all this time.

“There isn’t a person in the county who doesn’t know about this unclaimed prize. It’s all everybody is talking about at the moment.

“We’ll be doing our utmost in the store in the next few days to ensure that everybody in the area will check their old tickets to see if they are the winner of the €50,000 prize”.

Ticketholders have 90 days from the date of the draw to claim their prize which means that the Cork winner has slightly over a week left to claim their prize. The claim deadline for this prize is the close of business on Wednesday, March 15.

The winning raffle code in the EuroMillions ‘Ireland Only Raffle’ draw on Tuesday, December 13 was: NPZ88051 - NPZ88052.

The winner of the prize should sign the back of your winning ticket and immediately contact the National Lottery prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie and arrangements will be made to pay the prize.
