Lucky Roscommon Telly Bingo player wins €65,005 

Roscommon’s Telly Bingo players are on a winning streak, with another player celebrating a major win this week. In today’s draw  (May 16th), one player from the county struck gold by scooping the Snowball prize worth €65,005.

The winning ticket, which landed the top prize by achieving a full house in 51 calls or less, was purchased at Tesco, Market Yard, Harrison Centre, Roscommon Town.

This latest win follows closely on the heels of another Roscommon success just last week (May 8th), when a player took home €50,005. That winning ticket was bought at Newsround, Barrack Street, Ballaghaderreen.

The Snowball prize in Telly Bingo starts at a set amount of €10,000 and increases with each draw until someone wins it by marking off all numbers on their bingo card within a specific number of calls. Players who achieve a Full House on or before the 45th call win an additional €10,000. If there is no winner, the Snowball number increases by one and €5,000 is added to the prize until it is won.

Emma Monaghan, National Lottery Spokesperson said: “What a fantastic way to kickstart your weekend with a €65,005 win. Following last week’s Roscommon win, the National Lottery topped up the Telly Bingo prize fund by €30,000, so players were in for an extra treat. A huge congratulations to our latest winner.” 

The National Lottery Prize Claims team can confirm that the Roscommon player has already made contact and arrangements are underway for them to claim their prize.
