Game show winners live it up in Los Angeles

ONE day Liam Kennedy is on the dole in north Tipperary — the next he’s orbited into a millionaire lifestyle in Beverly Hills.

It’s a long way from Lorrha to the designer-only Rodeo Drive but Liam almost passed up an opportunity of a lifetime that falls to winners of the National Lottery Big Money Game Show — he had to overcome a fear of flying.

His partner Michelle Keenaghan won the prize and Liam, who had never previously travelled outside the country, was refusing to accompany her on the week-long trip to Los Angeles.
