Jackpot winners make contact with lotto HQ

The winners of last weekend's €16m lotto jackpot have been in contact with National Lottery headquarters today.

Paul Cunningham and his wife Helen, from Fairhill in Cork City netted the record jackpot from a 'Quickpick' ticket bought in their local newsagent.

Mr. Cunningham is understood to have travelled to Dublin, but has so far failed to turn up to claim his winnings.

National Lottery officials have refused to confirm the identity of the winners.

There's a ninety day window for the lucky ticket-holder to come forward.
