Celebrations at Londis, Cleveragh Road, Sligo
Excitement has swept through a county town as the local shop sold a €15 All Cash Gold scratch card leading to a whopping €300,000 top prize win.
The fortunate winner of the windfall, made a memorable start to the new year, turning a routine purchase from the Londis on Cleveragh Road in Co Sligo into a life-changing event.
Shop owner Declan McCrann was overjoyed to learn that one of his customers struck gold during the festive season. McCrann expressed his delight, stating: "What a start to the new year for one of our customers with a visit to Lotto Headquarters to pick up a cheque for €300,000.
"This is our biggest win that we have ever had, and for it to be on a scratch card is great because I think players sometimes assume that they’ll never win the top prize, and now one of our customers is proof that it really can be anyone!"
The Londis store has been a hub for the local community, and McCrann believes that this significant win will inspire others to try their luck.
"We have a team of 22 working here in-store, and the entire team was thrilled with the news. We are all hoping that we might see more of our customers winning big soon too!"
The winner, whose identity remains confidential, is set to collect their substantial prize at Lotto Headquarters.
