THERE were celebrations in the Ballymac Bar last night when the Creagh family enjoyed a windfall from the Winning Streak programme.

Eugie Creagh’s name was called out last week on the show, but it was his son John who was representing him on the TV programme last night.

Eugie was there, of course, with his entourage which included John’s wife Linda their kids Paddy and John and cousin Oran among others, who all helped Eugie pick the numbers for John for the first part of the game on the show.

John told presenter, Sinead Kennedy, how his dad opened the Ballymac Bar back in 1956 and how he and his brother Patrick are now running the pub since Eugie retired three years ago.

In the end, John won €8,000 in cash and a holiday to Thailand worth €10,000 for his dad, so not a bad trip up to Dublin for the Creagh family.
