Children’s birthdays lead to Legion lotto wins
T
THE Killarney Legion lotto hit a record high of €19,000 on January 2 and it was shared between Patsy Dineen and James Cronin.
As it happened, both winners had chosen the lucky numbers of 2, 3, 10 and 12 based on their children’s birthdays. “They were fitting winners as James is a very active seller of the lotto in the Speakeasy Bar and Patsy is originally MacNeice from Fairhill, a family steeped in the club,” said Enda Walshe, Killarney Legion chairman. “Our lotto is a vital backbone for the running of the club and our recent run will aid greatly in the progress and funding of our club.”
As a mark of appreciation for all those who played the lotto the club started its new jackpot at the enhanced figure of €5000 for the draw that took place on Sunday. The numbers drawn were 8, 10, 25 ad 28 and there was no winner. The five €50 prize winners were Tom Lucey, Muckross Road, Pa Murhill, Muckross; Sean Walsh, Loreto Road; Sam Hegarty; and Deege O’Sullivan c/o Holiday Inn.
The next draw, for a jackpot of €5,300, will take place on Sunday, January 14, in Murphy’s Bar at 9pm.
