Patricia Hailstones was the latest winner in Sligo Rovers weekly lotto when she scooped the jackpot of €5200

It brings the total prize money paid out to lucky punters (including match 3 vouchers) in the last year alone to almost €28,000.

Patricia is a committed supporter of the weekly lotto and has used the same numbers for years. Her ‘secret formula’ to land the jackpot were the numbers – 6, 18, 12, 28, – drawn from family birthdays and special events.

She buys her ticket every week from Joe Scanlon, a work colleague in St John’s Hospital. ‘If there is a week when I don’t see Joe, he always ensures my numbers are in the draw which is very re-assuring.’

While Rovers on-line lottery has become very popular in recent years. Patricia prefers to buy the ticket in person every week. She was thrilled to hear the hews of her big win and wished the lotto team every success on their ongoing work on behalf of the Club.
