THE National Lottery has issued an urgent warning to anyone who purchased or was gifted a Christmas scratch card as players don’t have long to claim their festive cash.

The ‘Hampers & Cash’, ‘Countdown to Christmas’ and ‘Merry Money’ games are set to expire in just weeks.

Handout

Players have 90 days from the game end-date to claim their prize, meaning they have just over 4 weeks to claim it.

The claim deadline for all Christmas scratch card prizes is close of business on Thursday, April 3.

Players are also reminded that there is a Christmas Bonus Draw worth €5,000 still up for grabs! Players can enter by scanning the QR code on the scratch card or by manually entering the access code on christmasbonus.lottery.ie.

Any entries received after 10am of 3 January 2025 will be added to the final draw, which will take place at 10am on Friday, April 4.

National Lottery spokesperson, Darragh O’Dwyer, said:
“Could there be a winning scratch card hiding in your Christmas decorations, tucked inside a greeting card, or buried in that festive clutter?

“If you received or purchased one of our Christmas scratch cards: ‘Hampers & Cash’, ‘Countdown to Christmas’, or ‘Merry Money’ – check them now, as you could be sitting on an incredible prize.

“The deadline to claim is 3rd April, so don’t miss out! For prizes above €15,000, players should contact our prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie to arrange collection at Lotto HQ.”

Meanwhile, a lucky player is €500,000 richer after matching all five numbers in Friday night’s EuroMillions Plus draw.

The punter purchased their winning Quick Pick ticket on the day of the draw, from SuperValu New Ross, The Quays, New Ross, Co. Wexford.

The winning numbers in the EuroMillions Plus draw (Friday, 21st February) were: 15, 23, 26, 29 and 48.

And a Corkonian is also in high spirits this morning after bagging a life-enhancing prize of €213,502 in the EuroMillions main draw.

The player successfully matched 5 numbers and one lucky star on their Quick Pick ticket, purchased on Thursday from Texaco Service Station, Model Farm Road, Co. Cork.

Spokesperson for the National Lottery, Emma Monaghan said: “We’re over the moon to see two big wins from Wexford and Cork emerge from last night’s EuroMillions draw.

“It’s moments like these that remind us all of the excitement and possibility the games bring.

“So, to all our players, check your tickets very carefully – who knows, it could be you!”

Like a vampire waiting for the sun to set, we are also very eagerly waiting for the release of The Blood of Dawnwalker. The upcoming game has intrigued a lot of gamers and the fact that the game is made by ex-developers of CD Projekt Red acts as a little cherry on the top for […]

DOIREANN Garrihy has kicked off her brand new show on RTE 2FM today with an “Irish star” making a surprise appearance.

The popular presenter departed the 2FM Breakfast Show back in May after five years working on the radio programme.

Today, just nine months and one wedding later, she has returned with her new show, 2FM Drive with Doireann Garrihy.

The 3pm to 6pm slot was previously hosted by The 2 Johnnies, who left the station in a shock departure last May.

Returning to the airwaves today for the first time on her new show, the 32-year-old exclaimed: “Oh my goodness, we’re live.”

As she began, a number of people in the 2FM studio began to cheer and clap for the radio star.

She continued: “It is Monday, February 24. It is 3:06pm, I may have rented a crowd. I may have asked them to give me a little clap in the background, because I was a tiny bit scared just to get up and running.

“But we have so much to get through on the show today until six o’clock. And actually, there’s one thing I’m really, really excited about.

“As a team, we put the feelers out there today to see if anyone in particular might want to maybe intro the show. And they asked a few Irish stars, and we couldn’t believe that we got a response from this person, in particular.

“Anyway, look, I’m just gonna hand it over to him.”

Doireann then proceeded to imitate Late Late Show host Patrick Kielty, wishing her well on her new show.

Mimicking the RTE TV host, she told listeners: “Folks, yes, I am delighted to be the chosen one to introduce the very first 2FM Drive show with Doireann Garrihy.

“Now you may remember last May, a sad day for 2FM when Doireann left the building, but hey presto, she only got as far as the car park where she did a few doughnuts, then a U-turn, and came right back in.

“During her time away, she rediscovered sleep, exercise and became the only person in Ireland to ever get married.

“How do you know Doireann Garrihy has done literally anything? She tells you about it. Which, now that I think about it, makes a great radio presenter.”

She added: “Now it’s been about 42 seconds since I took a breath, so I’m gonna hand you back to the woman herself before I collapse on to this flight. Have a good show.”

GOT TO GO

Shifting it up a gear, Doireann then got ready to start her show with Chappell Roan’s Hot To Go.

Before coming back to the airwaves today, Doireann was a guest on last Friday’s Late Late Show.

Down comic Patrick was joined at the top of the show by Doireann where she reflected on her decision to return to RTE 2FM.

She said: “I had done four years of breakfast, ten years of kind of mad busyness, and I just needed a bit of a break, and so I took a leap of faith and took a break.

“I never could have anticipated how much I would miss it. I knew I would miss it. I just didn’t think I would miss it as much with the year as it was kind of planned out. I knew what I had coming up. I was obviously getting married.”

HEIDI Klum looked sensational as she rocked see-through red lingerie and stood against a Las Vegas hotel window recently.

The 51-year-old model enjoyed a date night with her husband Tom Kaulitz, and popped the lovely lingerie look on for the occasion.

Heidi threw her head back against the window pane, letting her blonde locks cascade down, and shut her eyes in the sultry photo.

She could be seen wearing a red bra and thong, and pushed her bum against the window.

Wowing in suspenders, the model was sure to show off her incredible figure for the racy snap.

And Vegas was her backdrop, with the iconic Sphere seen in the photo.

Heidi revealed that the photographer behind it all was none other than her husband Tom, 35.

She was seen in a separate shot walking down the hallway of a hotel in a sensational black dress and heels.

Clutching her bag in one hand and a cocktail in the other, the star showed off her long pins as she walked.

It comes as Heidi’s daughter Leni has been seen to be following in her famous mum’s footsteps, doing some modelling of her own.

In November, German model Heidi and her daughter, 20, bared-all, posing next to each other wearing lace lingerie for underwear brand Intimissimi. 

And this isn’t the first time the duo have posed together wearing next to nothing.

This first started back in 2022, when Heidi was 49, and Leni, who is the daughter of billionaire Formula One boss Flavio Briatore, was a teenager.

Previously, some fans rushed comments on the mum and daughter posing in lingerie together, with one writing: “Which normal mum would pose together with her daughter in lingerie?”

While another posted: “Cringe and weird. Would never do this with mum.”

But Heidi continues to shrug off the trolls, by even getting her mum Erna, 80, involved in the most recent Intimissimi ad. 

Leni, who has an estimated net worth of around £3 million, has racked up a huge fanbase in her own right. 

On Instagram, she is followed by 1.8million people, often posting about her fabulous life and her modelling gigs.

Leni’s dreams became reality when she graced the cover of  Vogue Germany alongside her superstar mum at just 16.

“It’s absolutely bonkers that my first job was a Vogue cover, and having Mum by my side made it an absolute joy.

“It was such a brilliant day. I wasn’t nervous in the slightest, just brimming with excitement,” says Leni.

Heidi’s latest modelling snaps come as her America’s Got Talent replacement was recently named – after it was revealed that the star wouldn’t be returning for the series.

She is being replaced by Spice Girl Mel B for the 20th series of the show, which airs this Spring.

A rep for AGT production said in a statement: “Heidi has been an incredible part of AGT, bringing her signature charm, expertise and warmth to the show.

“We are enormously grateful for her many contributions and the impact she has had while celebrating the world’s greatest talent with us. We’d love for our paths to cross again.”

NEYMAR scored a stunning goal-of the-year candidate with a direct corner-kick after trolling rival fans who booed him.

The Santos star proved he’s still got it after a miserable, injury-stricken two year-year stint in Saudi Arabia with Al-Hilal.

The star forward led the Brazilian giants to a 3-0 win at Internacional de Limeira on Sunday.

The Brazil international took on a corner-kick down the left and was met by loud boos from the home fans.

The ex-Paris Saint-Germain star, though, refused to let the Internacional supporters get to him.

So Neymar returned the favour by sarcastically urging them to jeer louder before taking on the set piece.

And the Brazilian rubbed it in even more by reminding his foes of his true class and scoring a staggering Olimpico.

The Barcelona legend then copied former Real Madrid rival Cristiano Ronaldo’s iconic celebration.

The 33-year-old casually sat on the advertising boards with his arms crossed – just like Ronaldo – following all the hate he received from the opposing fans at the Estadio Major Jose Levy Sobrinho.

He also set up both of Tiquinho Soares’ goals to seal another dominant performance with Pedro Caixinha’s side.

Neymar now counts two goals and three assists in six appearances since his emotional return to Santos in January.

The versatile winger has already amassed more goals than his total tally with Al-Hilal, where he played seven times across the last two seasons.

Neymar counts a grand total of 138 goals and 67 assists in 231 appearances across two stints with Santos, from where he left in 2013 for Barcelona after a glittering four-year stint.

LUCY Mecklenburgh was taunted by cruel trolls as she said an emotional goodbye to her home of 11 years. 

The star shared a video of her packing up her London home after moving to Manchester with Ryan Thomas and their children.

But as she packed away her things, Lucy shared that she struggled with the memories of the house, which was her first home after moving away from her parents and first renovation. 

Calling the move “one of the most emotional weeks of her life” she told her followers: “I really didn’t expect to get so emotional, but I moved out of my home 11 years this week, that’s how we spent half term.” 

“It was such mixed emotions, because we outgrew this house so long ago,” she continued. “We’ve made the big move to Manchester, and we’re really happy, but there’s so many memories I’ve hung on to in this house. 

“I went from being single, it was my first big renovation project, it was my first real home since moving out my parents, I guess, and I bought both my babies back from hospital here.” 

Admitting she didn’t think the house was big enough for the family-of-four or had enough storage, Lucy continued: “It is time to go, definitely the right thing.” 

However, after posting the video on Instagram, trolls became critical of Lucy, taking swipes at her comments. 

One wrote: “Someone’s a bit entitled. Not enough room for 2 kids and 2 adults you could an entire street in that house. What goes through peoples mind when they’re editing this to post??” 

“Will defo be unfollowing after this,” said another. “I understand that she’s sad leaving her home when it has sentimental value with her children etc. But the post isn’t real life, she’s being filmed packing glasses with one hand while holding the baby and stating she is moving because she doesn’t have enough storage while she is packing 3 boxes of handbags with ample storage behind her insta at its finest ” 

“House looks massive. Perhaps you have too much unnecessary stuff,” said a third.

But thankfully people jumped to her defence, with many commenting that the cruel comments were just “jealous” people envious of the home Lucy had created. 

“What the hell is with all the negative comments? She’s visibly upset on the video and people are still been cruel! Who wouldn’t move to a bigger house if they could afford to! Pure jealousy and bitter people!” said one defender. 

“Why do people write mean comments ? Everything is relative . Good luck lovely Lucy x” said a second. 

“People are so judgmental and mean. Yeah Of course you would go to a bigger place for the family if you could. Also it’s a big thing moving… I was gutted leaving our first family home. The Thomas family are ace,” wrote a third.

Scott Thomas, Adam’s brother added: “we will look after you in Manchester now Lucy Loo xx”
