New dad Martin scoops €37,000 including a car on Winning Streak!

New dad Martin Johnston from Donegal town got parenthood off to a great start when he scooped €37,000 in prizes, including a new car, on the RTE Winning Streak game show.

Martin (31) wasn’t watching Winning Streak when his name was pulled out by Marty Whelan and Sinead Kennedy to appear on the show the previous weekend as he was busy looking after his new-born baby daughter, Katelyn, who was born on September 24th!

Martin met his wife Ciara in Australia in 2011 while both were travelling and the couple married in April 2016.

A large entourage travelled to the RTE studios to support Martin last Saturday including his mum and dad, Kathleen and Tony, and his sisters, Fiona and Regina and brother Thomas.

He purchased his Winning Streak scratch card at XL McNulty’s Orchard Park, Drumrooske, Co. Donegal.

Martin is a coach driver for Liam Conneely coach tours in Killybegs and is a keen dart thrower. He plays for the Coach House Bar in Donegal town, who are in the Donegal Dart league.

A total of €232,000 was won by five lucky players on the third Winning Streak show of the new season, presented by Marty Whelan and Sinead Kennedy.

Winning Streak scratch cards offer a range of great instant cash prizes plus a 3-star prize, which gives players the opportunity to enter a draw to appear on the gameshow. Five players are selected to appear on the Winning Streak TV Gameshow and win up to €500,000 instantly on the Grand Prize Wheel.

Winning Streak scratch cards also offer players the chance to win a once-in-a-lifetime luxury cruise for two worth €5,000. To enter the draw for the Luxury Cruise for two, entrants must collect the 3 letters S-E-A from the stub portion of their Winning Streak scratch card and send those into the National Lottery in the special grey stub envelope which are available from National Lottery retail sales agents.

The Winning Streak TV Gameshow is based solely on chance and there is no skill involved. To enter, players must submit a 3-star ticket in one of the special 3-star envelopes, which are available from all National Lottery Retail Sales Agents. On the Thursday preceding the gameshow, one hundred 3-star entries are drawn randomly in a preliminary draw that takes place under strict security controls in National Lottery offices. From these 100 entries, the five players for the following show are drawn and their names are featured on the gameshow.
