A chairman of a GAA club has bizarrely won his own clubs lotto. No, this isn't an episode of Father Ted, this actually happened in Galway on Monday night.
John Connolly, Chairman of CLG Bhearna, took home the prize of €10,700. Mr Connolly, a Fianna Fáil councillor, took part in the lotto draw alongside club officers Murt Conneely and Shane O'Flaherty.
And when Cllr Connolly's numbers came out, the chairman was as surprised as anyone to discover that he would be taking home the cash prize.
