A Lotto player left it to the last minute to collect an €8.2m jackpot win yesterday. The 90-day deadline had almost expired when the prize was picked up by the anonymous winner.

Fine Gael may not be on a winning streak but party member and former mayor of Sligo, Matt Lyons, is feeling lucky after selling the €8.2m winning lotto ticket, his second jackpot winner in six years.
