A Lotto prize worth almost €3m still has not been claimed, with the deadline looming.

The winning ticket, a three euro Quickpick, was bought on November 29th last, in Tesco, Claremorris, Co Mayo.

The deadline for the winner to contact the National Lottery is 5.30 this evening.

If the prize money is not claimed within 90 days, it will be added to the next kitty.
