A Dublin Lidl shopper could not believe her luck after finding out she won a brand new BMW car thanks to a little-known trick.
Delighted Andrea Buckley picked up her new car this week from her local store on the Old Belgard Road in Tallaght.
The Store Manager and Lidl’s Sales Operations Manager handed over the keys to Ms Buckley, who won the new wheels by using the Lidl Plus app.

Lidl Plus is a little-known rewards app that offers instant savings and treats every time a customer shops at Lidl.
To use it, shoppers activate coupons and scan the app at the checkout to receive instant savings.
This week’s exclusive offers include 49% off sweet potatoes, 20% off marinated prawns, 30% off Italian pasta sauce and 33% off Platinum All in One dishwasher tablets.
As well as discounts, every time customers scan their app at the till, they will receive a digital scratch card with a free treat.
Lidl shoppers also have the chance to win the value of their shop for free, with hundreds of ‘Golden Trolley’ winners every week in Ireland.
The BMW car won by Ms Buckley was the top prize in the Lidl Plus Winter Winners giveaway late last year.
Shoppers who spent over €35 in store and scanned their app received a stamp on their Lidl Plus stamp card. Anyone who received four stamps was automatically entered into the draw.
More than 250 prizes were up for grabs, including shopping vouchers, E-scooters, hover boards, air pods, TVs and the brand new BMW car.
