Lotto Plus Raffle prize worth €1,000,500 remains UNCLAIMED in Monaghan
National Lottery appeal to Monaghan Lotto players to check their Lotto tickets from 19th August draw
The National Lottery is appealing to Lotto players in Monaghan to check their old tickets from Saturday 19th August as a prize worth €1,000,500 remains unclaimed.
The life-changing amount was won in the Lotto Plus Raffle which typically sees between 60 and 120 winners of €500 in every draw but in that particular draw, one player enjoyed an even higher windfall due to a special Raffle event.
Each of the tickets with the winning Lotto Plus Raffle number drawn in the Saturday 19th August draw were entered into a once-off random draw where one ticket was selected to win an additional prize of €1 million. While every ticket holder who had the winning Raffle number won €500, one player has won €1 million, in addition to the usual €500 prize.
The winning Raffle number for the 19th August draw was: 3249
The winning Quick Pick ticket was purchased on Thursday 17th August at Centra on Main Street in Emyvale, Co. Monaghan.
