Speaking to the Pat Kenny Show on Newstalk on Wednesday morning, meanwhile, National Lottery CEO Dermot Griffin said that the outlet that sold the ticket hadn’t yet been informed by the National Lottery, but added that he expected the jackpot to be paid out next week. "The first thing we tell them is to sign the back of the ticket and make contact with the National Lottery - so they can ring through to our claims area and naturally we'll guide them through the process from there,” Griffin said. "Because there's nine countries involved in the Euromillions, it will take until next week before all of the money is transferred from the other countries into Ireland. "So we will be paying out the jackpot hopefully sometime next week.”
