Ticket holder claims €381,863 Euromillions prize just in time

The winning ticket was bought in Midleton, Co Cork.

A EUROMILLIONS PRIZE of €381,863 has been claimed this afternoon by a lucky ticket holder with only a few hours left before the deadline hit.

The winning Quick Pick ticket was purchased in Tesco in the Market Green Shopping Centre, Midleton, Co Cork. No details about the winner have been released yet.

The National Lottery allows 90 days after the numbers are drawn to claim their prize, and had renewed appeals in the past few days in the search for the winner.

The winning numbers were:

32, 34, 40, 45, 48 and the Lucky Stars are 1 & 10

    That exact information never revealed. It’s up to the purchaser to make the claim. The lottery office won’t hunt you down it will make some effort via the media to remind you though.

    That’s absolutely bizarre that it was collected 90 day later just before the deadline . With the story running everywhere regularly for weeks it’s hard to imagine how the person just came across the ticket today by chance .

    The good fortune to win is one thing but to realise you have winning ticket on the last day it’s valid for 400k is just crazy .really strange one

    Seeing as every Irish publication, radio station, and paper has run with this story numerous times already the ticket holder has already got about 400k in free advertising.
