The draw took place this evening in the Kilcullen Parish Centre, and the second prize of €1,500 was won by Petra Conroy of Moanbane Park. Bill and Aileen Mullins from Sunnyhill won the €500 third prize.
The remaining prizes of €100 each were won by Eileen Tougher of Hillsborough, Newbridge; Tom Coleman, Ballybrittas, Portlaoise; Brendan McMahon, Yellow Bog; John Archbold and Breda Kelly, Conroy Park; and Jack and Susan Curley of Gormanstown.
The total receipts were in excess of €30,000 (pending final recount). After deduction of the prize fund and expenses, the balance goes to parish funds.
Parish priest Fr Michael Murphy thanked the dedicated people involved in organising the draw, particularly the ticket sellers, and finally those who had 'parted' with a hundred euros each for the tickets. He is pictured above with Valerie Ryan, whose husband bought the winning ticket.
