No winner in last week’s Lotto. The numbers drawn were 1,4,10,13. As the Jackpot wasn’t won we then held the €500 monthly draw took place in Phil Hegarty’s and was won by Willie McLaughlin Winkers who purchased his ticket in Phil’s just before the draw was held. A great night’s fun was had by all but Willie’s cheque had dwindled quite a bit by the end of the night. Thanks to Patsy and Siobhan for the use of their premises for the draw.
