Ulick drives away in brand new car
€25,000 windfall for winners in Killarney Credit Union members draw
There were smiles all around at the Beech Road Credit Union last Saturday when Farranfore native Ulick O’Sullivan dropped by to pick up the keys to his brand new car.
Ulick, who now resides in Dublin, got a surprise call last week and was notified that he had won a brand new Ford Fiesta in the Killarney Credit Union Members Draw. €25,000 worth of prizes were handed out in all - ranging from €250 to €1,000 - and Ulick was the lucky one in 2,500 entrants to claim the star prize.
The cash prize-winners were Mary Quirke, Connie Brady, Joan Mulchinock, Tim O’Sullivan, Mary Mulcahy, Noreen O’Donoghue, Julia Casey, Denis Cronin, Annette Sheehan, Eileen O’Shea, Olive Sheehy, Julie Payne and Mary T. O’Sullivan.
Members can sign up for the competition at any Credit Union branch or by downloading an application form online at www.killarneycu.ie. €12 will be taken from your account twice a year as an entry fee. The next draw will take place in July.
“The draw is limited to members of Killarney Credit Union and anyone over the age of 18 can apply to join, so we would encourage members to sign up if they haven’t already,” said marketing officer Karena O’Leary. “As the saying goes: if you’re not in, you can’t win.”
