This is the first high tier prize the store has sold and what an amount it is! We are delighted with today’s news that we are the store to have sold the winning EuroMillions Ireland Only Raffle ticket worth €1,005,000! I’d like to thank our amazing team, Liam, Margaret, Martina Frances, Alexandra, Pia, Triona, Cathal, for their dedication and hard work, serving our local community here in Leighlinbridge.”
