Condom box the safest place

PEOPLE have put them in their socks, their safes, their banks, but a young Kerry Lotto winner kept his golden ticket in a condom box.

Adding a new dimension to the safety aspect of the humble condom, Eamonn Brennan, a 23-year-old business studies student from Tralee in Co Kerry who won €300,000 in last Wednesday night’s draw, decided his durable Durex box was the “a good safe and discreet place to keep my lucky ticket!”

Yesterday, Eamonn and members of his family travelled to the National Lottery HQ in Dublin to collect his cheque.
