Club Lotto;

We are back with a lotto jackpot of € 7,800 and this week, the lotto will be held on Saturday morning in the GAA Bar/Tuc Shop at 10.45am, and all children that attend will be included in a draw for some great prizes. Tickets can be purchased on the morning and are €2 each.

The Castlelyons GAA club Fundraising Lotto draw is run on a weekly basis and plays a huge part in the Clubs Annual Fundraising efforts. All three clubs benefit hugely from the Lotto throughout the year. We encourage all our members and players to support the Club lotto as it is a vital source of income for the club.

Tickets can be purchased from Centra Post Office, Murphy’s Vehicle Repairs, Glanbia, Sharon’s Hair Design, The Abbey Tavern and local promoters. Alternatively you can play online – please see our club website for more details www.castlelyonsgaa.com.
