WOW! Lucky Clare player beats massive odds to win mega cash prize on scratch card
National Lottery reveals it was player's second time winning a 'high-tier prize' in the same game
A lucky scratch card player from County Clare has beaten odds of more than a million-to-one to claim a mega cash prize from the National Lottery - for a second time!
The player, who wishes to remain anonymous, claimed the €30,000 top prize in the Cashword Doubler scratch card game at National Lottery headquarters earlier this week.
It was the player’s second time winning a high-tier prize in the game, as he previously won €15,000 in 2017.
According to the National Lottery, the most-recent winning scratch card was purchased from Tierney’s Costcutter at Tulla Road, Ennis.
Reflecting on his win, the Clare man said: “I scratched the card in the car. When I got home, I said to my wife - ‘We have to go back to Dublin, we’ve won again! This is great news to receive in the New Year as we have a couple of home renovations planned – now we can finally get started.”
According to the National Lottery, the odds of any player winning the top prize in the Cashword Doubler scratch card game is an incredible 1 in 1,040,000
