Forgot your €350k winning ticket? It could be you

IT could be you! If you bought a quick pick lottery ticket in Drogheda on Wednesday afternoon and left it behind you on the counter, you could be €350,000 better off and not know it.

“I said ‘Don’t forget your ticket’ and when I looked again he was gone,” said shop assistant Tom Heavey, who works in McDonnell’s Centra in Hardmans Gardens on the northside of the Boyne.

He left the ticket beside the till and wrote “Paid for, Tom” on it and thought no more of the incident until “the next morning one of the girls rang me at home and said ‘Tom, you’ve won €350k’ and said ‘Your ticket is here’.”
