National Lottery spokesperson Darragh O’Dwyer urges all Daily Million Plus players in Donegal to carefully check their old tickets from early October to ensure they do not miss out on claiming this substantial prize. 

“We are hoping to hear from a Daily Million Plus player in Ardara who won €500,000 in the 2pm draw on Sunday, 12th October. Their winning ticket was purchased at Ardara Filling Station, Portnoo Road, Ardara. Players have 90 days from the date of the draw to claim their prize, so the final deadline is Saturday, January 10. We’re encouraging everyone in the area to check their tickets from early October carefully as you could be holding an amazing prize!” 

 

If you’re holding the winning ticket, sign the back of it and keep it somewhere safe. Contact the National Lottery prize claims team as soon as possible on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie. Arrangements will be made for you to collect your prize at Lottery HQ.
