A EuroMillions ticket holder has only a couple of hours to check their old tickets.

A €500,000 prize was won by someone who bought a EuroMillions ticket in SuperValu in Castletroy in Limerick on November 11 last year.

The winner has until at 5.30pm to contact National Lottery with the winning numbers 3, 4, 21, 27, and 45.

Paula McEvoy from The National Lottery is hopeful that somebody will come forward and claim their winnings before the cut-off.

“Hopefully somebody will come forward,” said McEvoy.

“They (SuperValu in Castletroy) are delighted to have sold a winning ticket and they really would to see a local person, or indeed anyone that was passing through, come forward and claim their prize.”
