Kilkenny had not one, but two contestants on the Winning Streak game show last Saturday = December 3. Evelyn Dalton and Robert Falsey could not believe their luck when they were both picked to appear on the famous game show just weeks before Christmas.
Robert Falsey from the Old Callan Road won €35,000 as the dream player as he went on to spin the wheel.
Evelyn, who admits she is usually not lucky, could not believe her luck when she was picked to appear on the show, not alone to go on to win €42,100. She is originally from Rathcoole in Dublin but has lived in Kilkenny for the last 10 years. Evelyn and her husband Mike have been married for the past 40 years and have three children. They live on the Callan Road.
She purchased the lucky scratch card herself from In Touch, Market Yard. Evelyn said she has made no plans to spend her winnings, which include a holiday to Chile.
