The first of the Royal House draws which took place shortly after Christmas 'hit' the €1m mark, chairman Peter O'Halloran told delegates at last night's county committee meeting in Dunganny.

The chairman said he was very pleased with ticket sales which had increased by €365,000 in the last two months prior to the draw. And while he didn't have the official figures he said they had now covered their costs and were looking forward to the second draw which will take place on September 28th.

O'Halloran congratulated Paddy O'Dwyer (Dunshaughlin) on winning the house and complimented clubs on their efforts to sell tickets. He said the county committee would again be seeking the co-operation of the clubs ahead of the second draw where a house is again the top prize.

A third draw will take place in early 2020.
