Lucky Tipperary woman wins 'bucket list getaway' to exotic hotspot worth €5k from €3 punt


Sarah had some 'deliberation' to do before deciding between the holiday and cash prize alternative
A lucky Tipperary woman was announced as the winner of an all-inclusive "bucket list getaway" worth €5,000 from an online raffle.
Sarah Waters from Tipperary entered a draw from Blaa Giveaways for an all-inclusive trip to the Maldives, including a seven-night stay in the five-star Oblu Resort with an ocean-view room, flights and airport transfers.
Sarah's €2.99 flutter certainly paid off for the Tipp woman as she bagged the stunning prize worth €5,000.
Announcing Sarah as the winner in a post on Facebook, Blaa Giveaways said: "Yesterday we made the spin to Tipperary to congratulate Sarah Waters in person on her big Bucket List Maldives Getaway win!
"After some deliberation, Sarah decided to take the €5,000 cash alternative!
"Enjoy Sarah, lovely to meet you all and thanks for the support!"
With the dream holiday set to jet off in June 2025, Sarah opted to turn down the getaway and take the €5,000 cash prize instead.
Congratulations, Sarah!
