One lucky Offaly couple definitely had a great Friday!

An Offaly couple definitely had that Friday feeling when they collected a cheque for €200,000 at National Lottery offices in Dublin. The pair, who wish to remain anonymous, won the fantastic prize on an All Cash Spectacular Scratch Card.

“It’s unbelievable,” said the delighted wife as she toasted their win with a glass of champagne. “You never expect to win a prize like that on a Scratch Card. Maybe €2 or even €20 but €200,000 is just phenomenal!”

The husband continued the story: “It had been a pretty long week so we decided to treat ourselves to a Scratch Card in the hope we’d win a few Euro. I always believed I’d win big but to be honest, I never expected it to be on a Scratch Card.

We must’ve checked the Scratch Card a thousand times. We just couldn’t believe our eyes. It’s such a hard feeling to describe. You hope it’s true but it’s not until the team in the Lottery confirm it, that you actually can start to believe it and enjoy it.”

The happy couple plan to use the windfall to pay some bills but also hope to celebrate the win with a few treats.
The lucky €10 Scratch Card was purchased in Tesco, Edenderry
