The Snowball prize, which builds over time, is one of Telly Bingo’s standout features.
There was a real buzz in the air around Cashel last week after a lucky Tipperary punter bagged a whopping €55,019 in the National Lottery’s Telly Bingo draw on Wednesday, April 10.
The winner struck gold by landing the sought-after Snowball Top Prize, completing a full house in just 51 calls or less—an impressive feat in one of the game’s most exciting formats.
The golden ticket was purchased at Circle K, Junction 8 M8, Cashel, making the win a truly local cause for celebration.
