Filling station stop-off results in lucky windfall for Kerry man

A LUCKY Kerry man bagged himself a €20,000 National Lottery windfall as he topped his van up with diesel at a filling station in Dingle.

Liale Holland couldn’t believe his eyes as he scratched his way to a €20,000 win on the €20 All Cash Extravaganza scratch card which he bought at Moran’s Supermarket on Mail Road. “I had such a lucky feeling when I was putting fuel in my van this morning. When I was at the till, I bought the scratch card and a ticket for the EuroMillions €100 million jackpot. And who knows, I might be back for my EuroMillions prize tomorrow,” he said.

The All Cash Extravaganza scratch card which costs €20 still has a top prize of an astonishing €500,000 remaining. Last year, Natalie Owens from Co Limerick scooped the top prize of €500,000 on the All Cash Extravaganza scratch card after she purchased the winning scratch card at The Ambassador Shop in Dooradoyle in Co Limerick.

The lucky scratch card winner added: “When I found out that I had won, I just got straight on the road to Dublin to collect my winnings. My family have no idea where I am and I still haven’t even told my partner.

“It’s my partner’s birthday at the weekend so we will celebrate in style. We are saving for a house at the moment so this will go a long way towards our mortgage deposit.”

Other large scratch card winners through National Lottery offices today included a €25,000 prize on a €10 All Cash Spectacular scratch card which was sold at Daly’s Newsagents in Claremorris, Co Mayo. Another €20,000 scratch card prize was paid to a winner who purchased their winning €2 Money Multiplier 5X scratch card at the Londis Store in Lifford Co Donegal.

Wednesday’s Lotto jackpot is an estimated €3 million. Play in store, on the National Lottery App or online by 7.45pm on Wednesday evening for your chance to win.

Festive walks add to festive experience

By

The energetic Killarney Chamber of Tourism and Commerce has Christmas all wrapped up this year – and those that enjoy the great outdoors have been advised to follow suit.

The festival committee has organised a series of festive season walks which are designed specifically for locals and visitors to experience much of what Killarney has to offer during the most magical time of the year.


The walks will take place every day from December 27 right through to January 1 and the low-level routes will ensure they are suitable for all, particularly families enjoying the holiday season in the Christmas capital of Ireland.


Routes, which won’t be difficult and will take in areas within the national park and other places of interest, are currently being finalised and bookings will need to be made in advance on www.christmasinkillarney.com.


There will be a charge of €20 and all profits made will be donated to charity.

Published

By

Heartbeat Killarney will hold its next meeting on Tuesday, November 25, at 8pm in the Parish Centre on Park Road.

The guest speaker for the evening is Michelle Foley, HSE Health Promotion Officer, who will deliver a one-hour workshop on the benefits of self-care and practical ways to include it in daily routines.


The group says the session is timely as the festive period often brings increased risks to heart health due to overeating, excess alcohol, smoking, vaping, higher stress levels and reduced sleep.


A question-and-answer segment will follow the workshop, with tea, coffee and an opportunity to chat afterwards.
