Telly Bingo players in Westmeath and Kildare share €100k Snowball prize

Telly Bingo players in Kildare and Westmeath urged to check their tickets.

It was a Tuesday afternoon to remember for two Telly Bingo players in Kildare and Westmeath who shared the astonishing €100,000 Snowball prize on offer in today’s draw.

Over the past two weeks, anticipation has been building in the Telly Bingo game as the Snowball prize has continued to roll. On Tuesday September 12, the National Lottery added €40,000 to the Snowball prize fund for the Super September Snowball promotion and as there has been no Snowball winner since then, the prize continued to roll.

The Kildare winner scooped €50,120, which included a XCross prize in addition to the Snowball, after purchasing their ticket at Donovan’s Centra in Greenfields Shopping Centre in Maynooth. The Westmeath player won their €50,000 share of the Snowball, as well as a €5 lucky line prize, after purchasing their ticket at Dunnes Stores in Irishtown, Athlone.

A National Lottery spokesperson said: “It’s been an exciting two weeks for Telly Bingo players all over the country with the Snowball prize rolling since Tuesday September 12. Today’s game saw two players in Kildare and Westmeath celebrating after sharing the €100,000 prize fund on offer. We are now encouraging all of our players who may have purchased their tickets at Donovan’s Centra in Greenfields Shopping Centre in Maynooth and at Dunnes Stores in Irishtown, Athlone to check their tickets very carefully. The winners are advised to sign the back of their tickets and to keep them safe. They should contact our prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie and arrangements will be made for them to collect their prizes.”
