Kerry Lotto player scoops €235,196 prize

Published

The Lotto jackpot came close to being hit twice this week as a Castleisland player was just one number short of €2 million prize! Lotto players in Castleisland are being asked to check their Lotto tickets for Saturday night’s €2 million draw after one lucky player won the Lotto Match 5 + Bonus prize of €235,196. The winner matched five numbers and the bonus ball, meaning they were one number short of winning the €2 million jackpot on offer.

The lucky player picked their own numbers on their Normal Play ticket which they purchased at Garvey’s store on Church Street.

The winning numbers are: 03, 08, 10, 20, 43, 44 and the bonus was 40.

It has been an incredible week for some lucky National Lottery players, especially from Cork after last Wednesday’s €10,780,193 was won in Mount Oval Village, just outside Cork City. The National Lottery has confirmed that it is still waiting to hear from this lucky winner and has reminded every player to check their tickets to ensure that they do not miss out on these wonderful prizes.

“It has been a life-changing week for some of our lucky winners,” a National Lottery spokesperson said. “This includes last Wednesday’s €10.7 million Lotto jackpot win and of course the big Lotto win in Kerry which is worth nearly a quarter of a million Euro to one lucky player. There was also another big winner in Wexford who scooped Friday night’s EuroMillions Plus top prize of €500,000. If you are one of these big winners, we ask that that you sign the back of the ticket and contact our prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie, and we will make arrangements for you to claim your prize.”

Killarney for Palestine recently held a sold-out screening of the Oscar-winning documentary ‘No Other Land’ at the West End School of Arts, raising €2,100 for Camp Breakerz.

The event, which took place on July 3, included two screenings, both of which were fully booked. Guests enjoyed cheese and wine before the shows.
‘No Other Land’ depicts the ongoing destruction in Masafer Yatta, a cluster of villages in the Southern West Bank, and shows the experiences of Palestinians under Israeli occupation. The film won in the Best Documentary category at this year’s Academy Awards.
The screenings were organised in association with the West End School of Arts.
All proceeds from the €25 tickets benefited Camp Breakerz Crew, a children’s charity based in Gaza that provides creative outlets through dance and is involved in food distribution programs in Nuseirat Camp and Deir-Al-Balah due to food shortages.
Sally MacMonagle, who recently spent time in Aida Refugee Camp in Bethlehem, also spoke at one of the screenings.

Fianna Fáil Spokesperson on Tourism, Michael Cahill TD, has highlighted Killarney’s suitability to host summit meetings of international Government Ministers during Ireland’s six-month European Presidency tenure in 2026.

Deputy Cahill believes Kerry’s available accommodation, food, and conference facilities are “second to none,” with Killarney as the central location.
“Visitors from every corner of the earth have been coming to Kerry for centuries now, to experience its beauty and serenity and have returned on many occasions because of the fabulous time they have enjoyed during their stay here,” said Deputy Cahill. “Where else would you want to bring the senior Government Ministers of all of our EU counterpart states, to experience Ireland, its customs and heritage?”
The Rossbeigh TD outlined various attractions available for visitors during downtime: “During their downtime, they can visit the Blaskets and Slea Head, Sceilg Mhichíl and the Ring of Kerry, Killarney’s Lakes, Gap of Dunloe, National Park and Sliabh Luachra, all of our glorious beaches from Ballybunion to Rossbeigh, Kells to Ventry, Whitestrand to Inch, Ballinskelligs to Cromane, Waterville to Derrynane.” He also cited Kerry’s golf courses, Listowel Writers Week, the Rose of Tralee, and Puck Fair as potential experiences.
Deputy Cahill confirmed he has raised this matter with An Taoiseach, Micheál Martin; An Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs, Simon Harris; and Minister of State for European Affairs, Thomas Byrne.
“If Killarney’s bid is successful in bringing the Heads of State to our county for meetings, conferences and functions, it will be a massive boost to the local economy in Killarney and also throughout the county,” added Cahill.”Iwill continue to push in the coming months for Killarney and Kerry to be included as bases for the rounds of meetings that are to take place from July 1 to December 312026.”
