A KERRY woman will be hoping to go on a Winning Streak of her own when she appears on the National Lottery Winning Streak game show on RTE One this Saturday.
Peggie Fitzgibbon from Kenmare only discovered she had been selected to appear on the iconic game show after she return home from her aunt Ellie’s 85th birthday dinner last Saturday evening.
Peggie wasn’t long in bed when her bedroom door burst open and her daughters excitedly told her about her good fortune.
Peggie was so elated that she got straight up out of bed and re-joined her family in the hotel where the birthday dinner was held and they celebrated until the early hours!

Peggie is Kenmare born and reared and has six adult children – Mary, Mairead, Sinead, Ann, Deirdre and Christopher – and nine grandchildren. The entire family is excited about making the trip up to Dublin for the show.
Peggie hasn’t given any thought yet as to what she will do with the winnings from the show and is just looking forward to lapping up the Winning Streak experience and enjoying the day with her family and friends.
The Winning Streak National Lottery game show, co-presented by Marty Whelan and Sinead Kennedy, will feature some perennial favorite games as well but also brand new games including Play or Pay, Roll for Riches, WinFall and Electric Dream – where one player will win an electric car worth €25,000.
