Portlaoise Parish lotto jackpot won for first time since June.
Just like buses, two winners of the Portlaoise Parish lotto jackpot have come along in quick succession.
On Thursday, October 30 Liam Connell got €20,000 Halloween treat when he had the luck numbers in the popular Laois draw lotto, which hasn't had a winner of the jackpot since the summer.
Just seven days on, the Holohan family has claimed the €20,000 top prize after picking the numbers 13, 19, 20, 24. The promoter was Chris Holohan.
Congrats to the 9 Match 3 winners won €112 each.
The Holohan family only won the top prize of €20,000 in the draw because it hadn't been won since June. But as a result fo the two big pots being claimed in succession, the jackpot reverts to €10,000. MORE BELOW PHOTO.
The draw takes place every Thursday in the Portlaoise Parish Centre. It can go to a maximum of €20,000 if there is a run of draws with no jackpot winners.
It can be played online via www.portlaoiseparish.ie with proceeds going towards supporting the parish churches, schools and communities.
