Hunt for the Irish Lottery jackpot winners

Last Wednesday the enormous £16.7 million multi-rollover Irish Lottery jackpot was won by one solitary ticket holder but as of yet nobody has come forward to officially claim the prize. Since the draw there has been a hunt for the Irish Lottery jackpot winners with a couple from County Waterford being suggested as the possible Irish Lottery jackpot winners.

Margaret and Tom Whelan, a couple from Lemybrien in Ireland, have been singled out by the media as the most likely candidates following news of a celebration party held last Wednesday night. The couple returned home last night following an impromptu break away. When asked if they were the massive £16.7 million lottery winners Mrs Whelan simply answered with the reply “no comment” and Mr Whelan said “I wish” from within his house.

This monster jackpot is the 2nd largest jackpot in Irish Lottery history but a spokesperson for the Irish Lottery stated that “no one had yet been in contact to claim the £16.7m prize”. They also added “staff were hoping to see the winners at Lottery headquarters over the coming days”.

Just like many other lotteries around the world the Irish Lottery has a limited time in which winners can collect their prize. In this instance, Irish Lottery winners have just 90 days to claim their prize before it is forfeited.
