After the longest run in the 20 year history of CLG Máigh Cuilinn Lotto, one lucky person finally found that winning combination to scoop the €20,000 Jackpot Prize. That the winner, Sadie Wynne from right in the village was a popular beneficiary could be gauged by the flurry of texts & calls flying around at half ten on Monday evening, simply saying "Sadie is the Lotto jackpot Wynner".
Sadie is the popular proprietor of the Websavers shop in An Cearnóg Nua and the Sligo native and her family have been actively involved in the club's for many, many years.
The other good news is that, as promised months ago, the Lotto jackpot will again be €20,000 next weekend (18th August). The history of the Lotto tends to indicate that Jackpot wins are a bit like buses; you wait forever for one to come along and two come together. But if you are not in you can't win!
