Paddy got his hands on the cool €4,820 jackpot in the draw.

Paddy, who plays in goal for Whitestrand United in the Donegal League, runs the PK GK Academy.

This week’s was his second such win having also caught a €1,900 jackpot from Rathmullan Celtic just before Christmas.

The draw was conducted on Easter Monday and proceeds will go towards the development of Old Foundry Park, a new training facility for the club at Knockbrack.

Paddy was accompanied by his daughter Aoibhe to receive the jackpot from Bonagee United’s Damian Callaghan and Dermot Gillespie.
