Kilkenny woman wins €50,000 twice, describes ‘Déjà Vu’ experience

Kilkenny, They say a Déjà vu is an illusion of memory, but for Anne Foley, her illusion was certainly a reality as this was the second time after winning the exact same amount on a scratch card gifted to her by her mother 8 years earlier.

Anne Foley from Bennettsbridge in Kilkenny has proved doubly lucky after winning big not once, but twice.

Anne won €50,000 after trading a €10 scratch card win for another ticket. She was stunned to discover she had won the grand prize, just as she had on her 52nd birthday, eight years ago.

Describing the experience as déjà vu, Anne noted eerie similarities between the two wins – it was the same time of day, her son was in the shower, and her husband called from work, just like the first time she won.

This remarkable coincidence has left Anne in disbelief as she celebrates her second major win.

She spoke with our  Brian Redmond on The KCLR Daily.
