Mystery Newry lottery player claims £1million
The National Lottery has announced that the £1,000,000 + Ultimate Rio Experience prize from the special EuroMillions draw on 13th September, 2016 – which had previously remained outstanding in the Newry and Mourne Area – has now been claimed.
Unless the winner of a major National Lottery prize opts to take full publicity and signs an agreement to that effect, no further information can be released about their win.
Speaking to Newry Times, a National Lottery spokesperson said, “We’re delighted that the winner of this amazing prize has now come forward and we hope that they will enjoy their win.
“It would have been awful if the ticket-holder had missed out on this substantial and life-changing amount of money. We would like to remind all National Lottery players to check their tickets every time they play.”
Every week Millionaire Maker guarantees to create four millionaires – two on Tuesday and two on Friday – but with the special EuroMillions draw on 13 September, 2016, five players won a guaranteed £1m plus an Ultimate Rio Experience.
