Stepson claims he is entitled to share of €3.38m lotto win

A dispute between a woman and her stepson over the proceeds of a €3.38m Lotto win will be heard in 2017.

David Walsh claims he is entitled to a one-sixth share — €564,000 — of the winning ticket, which was one of two sold in a draw with a total jackpot of €6.7m held on January 22, 2011.

One of the two winning tickets was bought for €12 at Salmons Department Store, Main St, Ballinasloe, Co Galway, entitling the winner to a €3.38m share of the total jackpot.
