NATIONAL LOTTERY HAS this evening warned players not to fall for the actions of a suspected con artist who is pretending to offer them free plays in the Euromillions.

A number of people had contacted Lotto HQ in recent weeks to inquire about the offer they had received. Many people were called from a Dublin number and were being offered a free play in the Euromillions.

A spokeswoman said that this person has no affiliation to the National Lottery.
