Rathdrum Man to Appear on Saturdays Television Lottery ShowTuesday, January 22th, 2002By Tony Murphy Fortune has again smiled down on a Rathdrum agent for the National Lottery where two jackpot winning tickets and numerous cash wins have been sold over the lifetime of this popular national pastime. Murphy/Cahills on Main Street sold a Winning Streak ticket to local man Tony Hagan from Ballygannon and his name was drawn on last weeks show to appear on the programme on this coming Saturday night. An employee of the Schering-Plough company in Rathdrum, Tony got the shock of his life when his name was drawn from the drum on Saturday. He is looking forward to attending Saturday night's show but is not building up his homes on winning a huge amount of money. However, the owners of the store, Dick Murphy and Lily Cahill are thrilled with Brian's good fortune and are hoping that he will do very well on the show. For them, Tony's fortune is another example of the luck that has emanated from their agency over the years. They twice sold jackpot winning tickets, the largest amount going to local girl Anne Keogh who scooped a whopping 1.7 million pounds. In the early days of the show, three customers were drawn out to spin the wheel. At that time the show was not televised and there were no games surrounding the event. |
