Holiday cash! Westmeath mother and daughter win €30,000 scratch card prize before their summer break

Today was a feel-good Friday for a lucky mother and daughter from Westmeath who scooped a €30,000 prize from a National Lottery scratch card they bought en route to Dublin airport to catch a holiday flight to sunny Malaga!
 
The delighted pair, Teresa and Dee Kiely from Athlone, called into Lotto HQ yesterday after flying back to Dublin from their five-day break to collect their winnings on a €3 All Cash Tripler scratch card.

They bought the scratch card at the Spar store in Collins Avenue, Dublin 9, en route to Dublin airport last week. 

“It’s just incredible,” said Teresa Kelly. 

“We were obviously very excited about going on a break and we said we’d have a little bit of fun with a scratch card before we left. 

“We couldn’t believe it at first but when we got to Spain, we called the National Lottery and they confirmed the win, it was absolutely brilliant! 

“For the first time ever, we actually didn’t mind coming home, knowing that we’d be collecting such a large prize as soon as we landed,” she said.
