North Leitrim’s ‘lucky shop’ strikes again after Euromillions win

Kinlough was buzzing with excitement this weekend after McGowan’s Spar sold another winning lottery ticket.

This marks the eighth top tier for McGowan’s Spar, earning it a reputation as a lucky shop.

In 2016, the shop sold a Euromillions ticket worth over €11 million. Owner Noel McGowan credits this streak of luck to the positive atmosphere within the store.

“You sometimes make your own luck. I have a wonderful group of 20 plus staff and they come into work every week with a smile on their face.

“I suppose when you create an atmosphere in a store, it also brings luck,” Mr McGowan said.
