It comes as a Dublin man told how he found out that he had won €500,000 after checking some old lottery tickets.
The winning Quick Pick ticket was bought on January 26 in Dunnes Stores in Portmarnock, Co Dublin.
And the lucky winner said that he had only found out about his win when he was checking a bundle of old lottery tickets he found while cleaning out his family home.
He explained:
“I would regularly buy my EuroMillions and Lotto tickets but I’m very guilty of never checking them. I came across a bundle of tickets on Thursday evening so I sat down to check them on the lottery website.
“I hadn’t a clue what was going on so I popped down to the local shop to check the ticket and I got the same message. I knew then that I had to have won a significant prize but I just didn’t expect it to be a half a million euro."
