On Tuesday 13th December, NPZ88051 – NPZ88052 were the winning raffle codes in the EuroMillions ‘Ireland Only Raffle’ draw.

On Wednesday 15th March, close of business is the deadline for claiming this prize.

In order to meet the deadline of Wednesday (15th March), O’Hare’s Mace store at Turners Cross in Cork City has urged its customers to check their tickets.
