Lotto player in Dublin ‘could be holding a life-changing prize' but just weeks left to claim €500,000
The winning Quick Pick ticket was purchased at Tesco in Stillorgan Shopping Centre in Co Dublin on the day of the draw on Friday 28 March.
The National Lottery has appealed to players to urgently check their tickets for the 2pm Daily Million Plus draw on that day as the top prize remains unclaimed.
Players have 90 days to claim their winnings, which means the person who won €500,000 earlier this year has just four weeks to get in touch with the National Lottery.
The final deadline is close of business on Thursday 26 June.
The winning numbers were: 17, 22, 23, 25, 30, 37 and the bonus was 32.
National Lottery spokesperson Emma Monaghan has asked all Daily Million Plus players in Dublin to carefully check their old tickets from late March to ensure they do not miss their chance.
"We are hoping to hear from a Daily Million Plus player in Stillorgan who won €500,000 in the 2pm draw on Friday, 28th March. The winning Quick Pick ticket was purchased at Tesco in Stillorgan Shopping Centre,' she said.
'Players have 90 days from the date of the draw to claim their prize, so the final deadline is Thursday, 26 June. We're encouraging everyone in the area to check their tickets from late March carefully, you could be holding a life-changing prize!'
The winner should sign the back of the ticket and keep it somewhere safe as they contact the National Lottery prize claims team as soon as possible on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie.

People are only just realising why so many supermarkets have a clock tower and it's blowing their minds
SUPERMARKETS across England have one feature that is often overlooked by shoppers. Brits were floored to find out the reason why so many stores seem to have a clock tower. Advertisement 4 In 1991, 23 of the 28 Tescos that were built had clocktowers Credit: Alamy 4 Pictured is the clock on the Tesco Extra store in Swindon Credit: Alamy Filmmaker Chris Spargo took to YouTube to explain the history. He also pointed out that many of the clocks don't actually show the correct time. The trend dates back to the 1970s, when an Essex council was given a very strict design guide. It wanted to put a supermarket next to the town square but the council was firmly told that the building had to have "specific Essex characteristics". Advertisement Read more The YouTuber explained: "So Asda came up with an idea. 15 miles away in a town called Coggeshall, there is a 14th century barn and a Victorian clock tower." From there, UK chains seemed to draw inspiration and replicas started popping up everywhere. It went on to be known as the "Essex barn style". In 1991, 23 of the 28 Tescos that were built had clocks. Advertisement Most read in Fabulous Way into the 1990s, Tesco, Sainsbury's and Morrisons all built stores in this way. However, new stores being built today are less likely to have the feature. One comment by a dumbfounded Brit read: "This is something I've simultaneously noticed everywhere and yet never noticed." Writing in a thesis on the history of supermarket designs, academic Audrey Kirby said: "Possibly the design provided the customers with a classless feeling of comfort, security, wholesomeness and prosperity."
