“We’ve no idea what time it was sold or what date. It could have been any time. It could have been over the weekend or on Monday or Tuesday.

“It’s a huge guessing game going on! Customers that come in, staff are saying to them “Oh, it’s you that won, Jimmy” or “It’s you that won, Paddy”! It’s wonderful and it’s a great lift to our little village here!”
