Just shy of 10,000 tickets were sold by the combined forces of Letterkenny Gaels GAA Club and Letterkenny Rugby Club for their fundraising draw and this evening a winner of a camper van worth €80,000 was announced

A camper van with €80,000 has found a new home following this evening’s Letterkenny Gaels GAA Club and Letterkenny Rugby Club fundraising draw.

With membership on the increase, and a growing demand on playing facilities, Letterkenny Gaels GAA club and Letterkenny Rugby Club came together back in January to discuss ways of raising much needed funds for both clubs.

A sub-committee, made up of representatives of both clubs, was formed and in April, the Campervan draw was launched. In the days and weeks after the launch, the tickets were selling well and it was pretty clear even back then that the draw would be a big success. On Sunday, the last of the tickets were sold - 9,995 in total - a day before the Bank Holiday Monday draw.

Among those overseeing the draw were Cathal Roarty of Farren, Roarty Accountants who acted as independent observer, and Kieran Barron, draw coordinator.
