There is a call for lotto players in County Meath to check their tickets as someone could have a winning ticket worth half a million euro.

It has proved to be a very merry Christmas for some National Lottery winners, but for one ticket holder, the clock is ticking as to whether they see out the year €500,000 the richer.

A company running a filling station in Co Meath has been fined on three counts of failing to display petrol and diesel prices.
