Hopes Lotto win will be silver lining

A shop owner who sold a winning €500,000 All or Nothing Lottery ticket to a first-time player is hoping the win will brighten the life of a person, who may have been affected by the recent floods.

Ken Grandon, who runs the Mace shop in Glanmire, said he ss convinced the man, who collected his winnings yesterday, is local.

“There aren’t any rumours circulating yet as to who he is, but lots of locals play All or Nothing here.
