A STOREOWNER IN Donegal is giving his customers a reason to satisfy their sweet tooth with an All-Ireland final ticket hidden in a lucky bag.
Enda Heneghan of Aunty Nellie’s Sweet Shop on the main street in Letterkenny has revealed that there is a Hogan Stand ticket hidden in one of the store’s €2 Lucky Bags, and hunters have until Friday to find it.
An employee from the shop told TheJournal.ie that there’s been a ‘good rush’ on the lucky bags since the competition was announced, but that the golden ticket has yet to be found.
Aunty Nellie’s has stocked hundreds of the bags to discourage any one person from buying up the entire stock.

Brilliant idea hope the shop gets its money worth and the winner is a genuine fan

Yes Eric…. It’s a great idea!! Brings a bit of excitement too!
That’s a great idea :)
DADDY I want one of those lucky bags DADDY I want them ALL.
Brilliant idea :)
Doesn’t law in Ireland forbid competitions where purchase is necessery?
They would need a licence to run a lottery from the Guards. I very much doubt they’ve done this, so I reckon they are breaking the law alright.
Pair of dry holes…
They’re not breaking the law. They are selling a existing product with a spot prize to give away to the lucky punter. No licence required. It’s an enticement to purchase their product. Like a car dealer giving away a holiday with a new car purchase. They are not selling tickets or raffle lines. For this, they need a licence
@Benny – Why do you think that Cadbury’s (for example) say “no purchase necessary” on their competitions?
two Muppets on the top must have a handy money gov job or some thing if they had too try and make it them selves would not be cryin over stupid stuff … Muppets
Wot a great idea!!
Ticket won’t be put in untill friday
I’ve got a golden ticket! But where’s Mr. Wonka?
have your say
