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.
