Happy Days! Michael wins €64K
Young Donegal man Michael Gallagher was just a couple of clicks away from becoming a millionaire on TV’s Winning Streak.
Michael, from Inver, appeared on the RTE show and his heart was in his mouth as he spun the wheel…with a cool million euro on offer.
The marketing man and already won €40,000 during the gameshow itself.
And he came agonisingly close to landing on the €1 Million segment when he spun the wheel….the ball bouncing in the segment next to it, before rolling four slots away and into €24k!
But Michael, who now lives in London where he works in promotions for Marks & Spencer, was more than content after picking up the extra €24,000 giving him a cool €64,000 – not bad for one night’s work!
Michael, who used to work at the Sherlock Holmes museum in London and is qualified as a pub and kitchen designer, was congratulated by his mum – “the most important person” and his sisters Katherine and Teresa, as he took it all in his stride.
The farmer’s son says he might use his winnings to start his own business!
He’s the latest Donegal winner on the TV game show – last month THREE players from the county appeared on the same show.
The show reached a landmark this weekend – passing the €150 MILLION in prize money over the past 23 years.
