No one has so far claimed the £591,300 winning Lottery ticket for the September 28th jackpot. National Lottery director, Mr Ray Bates, said yesterday perhaps the person or persons owning the ticket, which was sold in Kilnamanagh Shopping Centre, Tallaght, Co Dublin, had gone on a fortnight's holiday and had not yet checked it.
The owner of the winning ticket has until Christmas Eve to claim it; if it is not claimed by then it will be returned to the unclaimed prize fund.
