AN INVER man won €20,000, including a city break, at the National Lottery’s Money Spinner event held at Lough Eske Castle in Donegal on Saturday night.
Eamon Foy got married four months ago to Martina who is also from Donegal. They met outside the tourist information office in Donegal town eight years ago! He is an engineering teacher in Deele College in Raphoe.
Martina bought the Scratch Card for Eamon and posted it. When he got the phone call from the National Lottery to say he was going on the show he thought it was a prank call!
Eamon helps out on the family farm in Inver and also likes to restore machinery. He restored his father’s tractor that he had for over 25 years. Eamon has not won anything in his life and he is very excited about getting to spin the wheel. He intends to use the winnings to upgrade the car and maybe go on holiday.
