Family business celebrates after selling winning lotto ticket – November 21st 2011

  by: admin - Category:

A family-run shop has cracked open the bubbly to celebrate selling its second lottery ticket worth a large amount of cash to a lucky patron.

According to the Irish Independent, the O’Donohoe family – who manage the Spar branch in Abbeyknockmoy near Taum – popped open a bottle of sparkling wine outside the store to fete the good fortune of one of their customers, who is now €3.8 million richer thanks to buying a winning Ireland Lotto ticket from the shop.

This is not the first time the O’Donohoes have sold a lottery ticket that has led to a patron winning a massive payout, because one EuroMillions fan scooped €500,000 after entering the draw at the store several years ago.

Patrick O’Donohoe, who works in the shop with his father, said: “We’re hoping [the winner is] somebody local but we don’t have a clue who it might be. Nobody has made themselves known to me yet. We get a lot of passing trade, but on account of it being a Saturday, it could be a local person.”

The family have said they hope to congratulate the winner in person if he or she makes themselves known to them.

Fans of the Ireland Lotto may want to buy lottery tickets online at theLotter to be in with a chance of scooping Wednesday’s (November 23rd) jackpot prize of €2 million.
