Gaoth Dobhair man Paddy Magee scooped €25k on RTE1’s Winning Streak on Saturday night.
The father of three didn’t get to spin the Big Wheel on the show which has seen four Donegal contestants in the past six weeks.
His mother had bought him the ticket – and his wife Martina posted it!
Paddy – who has been unemployed for two years – bagged €15,300 and a €5,000 holiday in the first round of the show.
The Derrybeg man then took his overall winnings to €25,900.
