Lotto
Our draw tonight on January 16th is for €4,300 – we had no winner of our jackpot last week with Liz Graham | Tracey Christian taking home the €50 lucky dips !
We’d encourage all our members to play lotto, it’s a vital source of funds for the club and you could be a lucky winner – if you’re not in you can’t win ! Let’s face it we could all do with a nice holiday around now !
