Lotto issue appeal as winner has just DAYS to claim fortune
A Daily Million Plus player has yet to come forward for the half a million euro prize and has just days left to come forward to claim their win.
The winner comes from the 2pm draw on Friday, March 28 with National Lottery confirming they are from the Stillorgan area of South Dublin. Dublin Lotto punters are being urged to check their tickets as one winner of €500,000 has yet to claim their life changing prize. Pic: Chrisdorney/Shutterstock

The winning numbers were 17, 22, 23, 25, 30, 37 and the bonus number was 32.

Lotto spokesperson Emma Monaghan is urging all Daily Million Plus players in Dublin to carefully check their old tickets from March to ensure they don't miss out on the eye-watering money.
She said: 'We have just days left to reunite a Daily Million Plus player in Stillorgan with their €500,000 prize. The winning ticket was purchased at Tesco in Stillorgan Shopping Centre and matched all numbers in the 2pm draw on 28th March.
'With the deadline fast approaching on Thursday, 26th June, we're encouraging everyone in the area to check any old tickets they might have tucked away.'

If you have the winning ticket, National Lottery advise that the back of it is signed and kept somewhere. Contact the National Lottery prize claims team as soon as possible on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie where arrangements will be made for you to collect your prize.
While money that isn't won in National Lottery draws rolls into the next draw, the same isn't the case for money that has been won but not claimed.
If a person fails to claim their winnings within the 90-day time frame, the funds will be put into the promotion of the National Lottery — which in turn increases funds raised for good causes.
In 2021, the Irish Times reported that the Lottery used more than €90m in unclaimed prize money to promote itself across a six-year period.

Flying the nest? Nine in ten young have nowhere to fly to
When it comes to flying the nest, young people are having their wings clipped. Nine out of ten people aged 18-34 have a friend or family member living at home with their parents because they cannot afford to buy a house, a new survey has found. It also revealed that 86% of young people report personally knowing someone living at home to save on housing costs. That figure rose to 92% when respondents were asked if they had a close connection with someone who had either emigrated or was planning to leave the country due to housing problems. Worryingly, the problem has sparked an exodus of teachers, nurses and tradespeople. Although age plays a factor, more than half – 54% – of those aged 45-54 and nearly half of over-55s know someone still living at home with their parents due to housing affordability issues, the survey of 1,000 people found. When it comes to flying the nest, young people are having their wings clipped. Pic: Shutterstock Dominic Lumsden of Insurance, which was behind the study, said: 'The findings highlight how widespread the housing affordability crisis has become. Most people know someone who has no choice but to remain living at home, often well into adulthood, simply because buying a home has become so expensive. 'Overall, more than half of respondents know someone who has left and/or is due to leave the country, and more again know someone who is living with their parents – 62%. But if you drill down even further it becomes more and more obvious how acute the housing issues are amongst the younger generation. Even if the younger survey respondents are not in the position themselves, they know someone close to them who is.' The survey also found that 54% of 18-to-34-year-olds have a close connection with someone who has already emigrated. Also, 38% of that age group have friends or family considering leaving. Dubliners were most likely to know someone who has left Ireland due to housing unaffordability at 45%, while those living in Munster were least likely at 33%. Young people can't move out of their parents' home due to the housing crisis. Pic: Getty Images Mr Lumsden said: 'The data highlights how housing affordability is impacting people across all age groups, but younger adults are feeling it most. With nearly nine in ten 25-to-34- year-olds knowing someone still living at home due to unaffordable housing, it's clear the traditional milestone of moving out and buying a home is increasingly out of reach for many. 'This echoes the 2022 Census findings, which showed 61% of 20-to-24-year-olds were still living with their parents, up from 54% in 2011. What's particularly alarming is how housing pressures are now driving young people to leave Ireland altogether.' The latest Central Statistics Office Population and Migration Estimates revealed more than 69,000 people left the country in the year to April 2024 – the highest level since 2015 – including 34,700 Irish nationals. 'This ongoing 'brain drain' means we are losing many of the essential workers who form the building blocks of our society – teachers, nurses, tradespeople,' Mr Lumsden added. 'The survey paints a stark picture: housing unaffordability is no longer just a personal struggle; it's a national issue that's putting real strain on our communities.'

The unclaimed prize comes as the winner of the life changing €250million EuroMillions draw — the largest in the history of the competition — bought their ticket in Cork city.
