Lottery winners fail to collect their millions

TWO Irish punters who scooped €9.7 million apiece on the EuroMillions lottery draw shunned the limelight yesterday, leaving locals to play a guessing game to find out their identities.

Lotto bosses said the winners — one from Cork and the other from Limerick — could have picked up their winnings yesterday from the Friday night draw but had yet to do so.

The delay cost the pair €860 each in daily interest.
