Last chance for lucky Lotto winner to claim €1.6m jackpot

THERE’LL be a whole lotto luck if the holder of a €1.6 million ticket turns up to claim his prize before 5.30pm today.

Today, the 90th day after the ticket was bought, is the last chance someone out there has of becoming an instant millionaire, but the National Lottery has refused to give up hope.

“There’s never been a prize claimed this late. The longest wait before was around two months and that person got around 2m. We’re still hoping someone will ring in before 5.30pm,” said a spokesperson.
