💰 KILDARE LOTTO WIN SPARKS POLITICAL SPECULATION
A Kildare online player has scooped €123,836 after matching five numbers plus the bonus in Saturday night’s Lotto draw.
Early this afternoon, rumours began circulating around Naas after a local councillor was reportedly spotted outside Fletchers late last night receiving several animated phone calls.
By teatime today, Facebook will have launched a full investigation.
Theories range from a local a solo politician holding the winning ticket to a mysterious syndicate allegedly involving the politician and several v**e shop owners.
Naturally, absolutely none of this has been confirmed.
The National Lottery has contacted the actual winner, while no local politician has yet come forward to announce a sudden €123,836 improvement in their personal finances — or promise to use the windfall to finally paint the Trippy Kerbs.
Congratulations to Kildare’s mystery winner. 🎉
That’s all we’re saying until the identity is confirmed.
This post may have made the rumours considerably worse.
Sorry. 😂
Actually, nah. Not sorry.
⚠️ For legal, journalistic and general keeping-ourselves-out-of-trouble purposes: the rumours mentioned above are completely unverified and were first overheard in Paddy Power from two lads apparently on Day 3 of a wedding.
Not exactly Reuters, but sure. 🙂
