Galway Bay fm newsroom – One lucky Galway woman has that Friday feeling after collecting a cheque for €50,000 after hitting the top prize on a National Lottery All Cash Platinum scratch card.
Sharon Cooney, who works as a shop assistant in Nestor’s Centra in Doughiska, bought her winning scratch card following a joke with her colleague.
She says she was in work in Nestor’s when her colleague bought his own €10 All Cash Spectacular ticket and boldly told his friends that he would win big, but didn’t.
As a joke, Sharon said she would buy one as well and won her €10 back straight away.
She decided to spend the money on two €5 All Cash Platinum scratch cards – and ended up with 50 thousand euro.
