Julie enjoyed the craic with host Marty Whelan telling him she was up in Dublin for the All Ireland Final last week. She also mentioned her late parents Peg and Timmy on the show.
Julie, who bought her winning ticket at Brendan Moriarty’s Centra in Ballyheigue, was hoping to win a car on the show but that shouldn’t be a problem now after winning the cash prizes and a holiday to Stockholm.
