A woman has recalled the moment she realised she had won €30,000 on a scratch card bought from a Letterkenny filling station.
The lucky winner, who asked not to be named, hit her good fortune on a Diamond Bingo Doubler scratch card.
She purchased her €3 winning ticket at McFadden’s Service Station in Letterkenny.
“I was down to the second last number and I could see that I had four corners in the last box. I thought I had won the €25 but then noticed the line across and thought that looked unusual. I was sitting in my kitchen with my family so it wasn’t long before we were all checking the ticket.
“Before scratching the scratch card, I had only said to myself that I wonder does anyone ever win the top prize. I’m only really starting to believe it now that I have the winning cheque in my hand.”
The winner says she can’t wait to get away on her dream holiday when things are back to normal.
