The Sligo Champion

Rovers lotto prizes

-

When local couple Katie and Regan Wallace had a major success in winning the €14,300 Sligo Rovers jackpot, it brought to almost €19,000 the club has paid out in lotto jackpots in the month of June alone. The other lucky recent winners were Thomas Culkin (€2,000) and Sinead Costello (€2,600).

When you include the “Match 3 Tesco Vouchers”, Sligo Rovers lotto has awarded over €24,000 in prizes so far in 2018, confirming its status as the most generous and successful of the local lotteries.

Club Chairman Martin Heraghty said the weekly lotto is a valuable mainstay of the club and expressed his appreciati­on to Lottery Administra­tor Frank Beirne and his team of volunteers who oversee the weekly draw.

“The lotto has been a fixture of the club since the early 1990s, and while its format has changed over the years, it has been a consistent and dependable fundraiser which has generated valued revenue for the club.

“The fact that it is a year round draw is a major benefit, and also requires year-round commitment from the team involved.”

Lottery Administra­tor Frank Beirne said that the many ways of playing is one of the lotto’s main attraction­s and explains its enduring popularity.

“People can buy the traditiona­l ticket from one of our agents in the normal way, or they might find the annual lotto card more convenient, where their chosen numbers are automatica­lly entered in every weekly draw over the course of the year.

“The online access has attracted regular subscriber­s among Sligo people living all over the world, and this is an element of the lotto we intend to promote and develop.”
