Over €16m in unclaimed Lotto prize money to be used to support Covid-19 health efforts

More than €16 million in unclaimed National Lottery prize money is to be used to support Covid-19 health efforts.
The money has been returned to the Exchequer at the end of a lengthy dispute that dates back to 2014 when the National Lottery was privatised and sold to Canadian-owned Premier Lotteries Ireland (PLI).
