A very lucky Lotto player who bought their ticket in Co. Cork could see their luck run out next week if they don’t claim their big prize.
National Lottery bosses have been issuing appeals to the punter to come forward for their €50,000 cash win for weeks, and now, there are just 8 days left before their ticket becomes void and the money disappears.
Those living in the Turners Cross area of Cork city are being asked to urgently check their tickets as an ‘Ireland Only Raffle’ prize worth €50,000 from the December 13 draw remains unclaimed.

The winning Normal Play ticket was purchased on Sunday, December 11 at O’Hare’s Mace at Turners Cross in Cork City.
Ticketholders have 90 days from the date of the draw to claim their prize which means that the Cork winner has just four weeks 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
