Donegal grandmother goes on a €28k
Winning Streak
25.02.19
A DONEGAL grandmother scooped a tidy €28,000 on the
Winning Streak TV game show on RTÉ last Saturday,
23rd February.
Teresa Shiels, from Letterkenny, revealed during the
show how Winning Streak fever well and truly hit
Letterkenny last week when it emerged she was to
make an appearance.
Watching the programme on the night her name was
drawn from the drum, she barely flinched when she
saw her name come out as there are a few Teresa
Shiels in Letterkenny. She calmly waited until the
end credits of the show and for the full address to
be revealed.
Teresa works as a receptionist for Ballyraine Park
Health Centre in Letterkenny and her favourite
pastime is walking. She hasn’t made any plans for
her win just yet and will wait for dust to settle
after her TV appearance. |

Lottery fever continues
to grip the country as someone in Ireland woke up on
Sunday morning a whopping €10,288,699 richer after
hitting it lucky on Saturday night’s mega Lotto
Draw.
The sky high jackpot win comes the same week a large
family syndicate from North Dublin scooped a
mind-blowing €175 million on the EuroMillions game.
The National Lottery appealed to all of its players
across the country to check their tickets to see if
they have become the 21st Lotto player in the
history of Lotto to win over €10 million.
The winning numbers are: 3, 19, 21, 29, 31, 35 and
bonus number is 22.
A National Lottery spokesperson said it hopes to
reveal the name of the winning store soon. “With a
jackpot win of this amount we need a little time to
inform the shop owner and to give the winner time
and space to let this huge win sink in.“
This morning National Lottery CEO, Dermot Griffin,
said “This has been an extraordinary week in the 32
year life of the National Lottery. We had our
highest ever jackpot prize win with a family
syndicate winning an incredible €175 million on
EuroMillions. Now, just days later, we have a lucky
Lotto player who has won this amazing €10.2 million
prize.” |
