IT was a memorable Monday for Kerry man, Ljatif Saiti who won the top prize of €200,000 on his All Cash Spectacular scratch card which he purchased in Healy’s Newsagent in his hometown of Killarney.
Ljatif, who is originally from Kosovo, was joined by his family as he collected his whopping €200,000 prize at National Lottery headquarters in Dublin today.
“This is an unbelievable win for our family,” said Ljatif who was coming to terms with his good fortune in the National Lottery Winners Room.

Ljatif, who moved to Killarney from Kosovo with his family in 1999, discussed the moment he knew that his luck was in with his scratch card. “I would treat myself to a scratch card every week and I would always bring them home to scratch them. This time however, I scratched it there and then in the shop and I saw my number matching up with the €200,000 prize. I quickly handed it back to the shop keeper to check that I wasn’t dreaming,” he smiled.
The National Lottery All Cash Spectacular is a €10 scratch card which has over €10,000,000 in cash prizes on offer. There are two top prizes of €200,000, one of which is still up for grabs.
Discussing his plans for his winnings, Ljatif said; “This is all still new to us. We will enjoy the win first and then we will decide on what to spend the money on. We have four beautiful children so it is important that their future is the priority.”
