Clock is ticking for €500k EuroMillions ticket holder

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.

On Christmas Eve, it was announced that the winning ticket of the €5.4m Lotto Jackpot had been sold at Dublin Airport at the WHSmith shop at arrivals in Terminal 1 on December 22.

National Lottery CEO Dermot Griffin said: “This is going to be a very special Christmas indeed for that lucky person.”
