Each of the tickets with the winning number drawn were entered into a once-off random draw where one ticket was selected to win an additional prize of €1 million.

The winning Raffle number for the draw was: 3249

The winning Quick Pick ticket was bought on Thursday August 17th at Centra on Main Street in Emyvale, Co Monaghan.

As ticketholders have 90 days from the draw date to claim their prize, the claim deadline for this prize is close of business on Friday November 17th.

A National Lottery team is travelling to Monaghan on Friday to help find the winning ticketholder.

National Lottery spokesperson Fran Whearty said the winner could be from anywhere.

"Somebody in Co Monaghan could be a millionaire and not even know it," he said.

"We have a National Lottery delegation heading up to Monaghan and Emyvale this morning looking to find the winner.

"Emyvale is very much a destination town if you're going to and from Donegal.

"So the winner possibly could be from anywhere in the country.

"They could be from Donegal, they could be from the south of the country who headed to Donegal on their holidays," he added.
