Bosses at the National Lottery have shared the locations of several big wins, as the prizes have gone unclaimed by their ticket holders.
They have also advised people on how exactly they can claim their win, if they are not sure how to come forward.

According to the National Lottery, how to claim the prize depends on the amount and whether it was online or in-store.
For online players, prizes from €1 - €99 will automatically be transferred to the online wallet. This money can be withdrawn “at any time” by logging in and selecting ‘My Account’, followed by 'Withdraw' and the specified amount will be issued by cheque, stamped “Account Payee Only”, to the address specified in your Player Account.
A cheque will automatically be sent by post to the registered address for prize amounts from €100 up to €500.
For amounts from €501 to €9,999, “PLI will, subject to age and identification details being confirmed, send you a Claim Form for completion before a cheque is issued”.
For wins above €10,000 and above, National Lottery said: “please contact the National Lottery Claims Department on 1800 666 222 Mon-Fri 9.15am-5.30pm where arrangements will be made to process your prize."
For those who have bought a winning ticket in a shop, it must be claimed within 90 days of the draw date.
“Your ticket is a bearer instrument, so treat it as if it were cash. It is the only valid proof of a game played and must be presented to claim a prize.
“You should sign the back of all winning tickets before presenting for payment.” the organisation said.
Once again, how you claim the prize depends on the amount. This time, the process is as follows:
€1-€100 Any National Lottery Agent
€1-€2,500 Any An Post Office nationwide
€1-€14,999 An Post Prize Claim Centre
For prizes above this, players will need to contact the National Lottery Claims Department on 1800 666 222 between 9.15am-5.30pm from Monday to Friday where arrangements will be made.
