“A friend ran us to say that she thought that we had won.
“After we signed up for the draw, I didn’t think about it again. I completely forgot about it. When Gordon (Randles, CEO Letterkenny Credit Union) rang me I said: ‘Are you sure?’ It’s fantastic to win a prize like this.”
Joan and Michael had been cocooning during the recent lockdown. In March both contracted Covid-19 before making full recoveries and will now look forward to some road trips in their new Polo.

Sarah Doherty, originally from Portnablagh, was accompanied by her Liverpool-supporting sons Conor (9) and Kyle (6) as she took receipt of her new wheels.
“I couldn’t believe it, I’m just delighted,” Sarah, who works at Letterkenny University Hospital, said.
“Word filtered to me from my brother-in-law. It was just totally out of the blue and I never in a million years expected to win a prize like this.”
