A Ballybofey family was celebrating after a ticket in the name of their family pet won the €5,100 jackpot

A Ballybofey family was celebrating this week after family pet Lexie scooped the Finn Harps lotto jackpot.

A cool €5,100 is winging its way to the Dowds family from Knock, Ballybpfey.

Lucky terrier Lexie’s name was on the winning ticket.

Lexie’s numbers 3, 6, 12, 15 came up to land the loot.

“We are sure there will be one very spoiled doggie in the house for the foreseeable future,” a Harps spokesperson said.

“Thanks to everyone, whether human or otherwise, who supports our lotto.”
