A TRALEE truck driver has revealed she was on a hen’s weekend when she found out she had been drawn to appear on the National Lottery Winning Streak TV game show on RTÉ One this coming Saturday.

Ciara Sheehy from Tralee, was on the hen party in Killarney when news came through that she was called out to appear on the show.

Following a night of celebrations, she woke up the following day and thought that her Winning Streak date was all a dream!

Ciara is a truck driver by profession, having learned the tricks of the trade when she was living and working in Australia.

Since she returned home, Ciara has secured a HGV licence and she is currently working with Dillons Transport in Tralee for the past two years. Recently, Ciara was the subject of a TG4 documentary called ‘Truckers na hEireann’.

She will be supported in the audience by her boyfriend John who she has been with for the past two years after they met in their jobs as truck drivers. Also in attendance will be her mother, Loreto and her brother Barry as well as many other members of family and friends.

Ciara is a huge Winning Streak fan and has superstitions about posting her three Star entries in different towns throughout Ireland. On the night of the hen party when her ticket was called out, she purposely wore special ‘three star’ earrings which she will be proudly wearing again on the TV Gameshow.

Her spending plans for her Winning Streak winnings include home improvements and a trip to Malta later this year where she and her boyfriend John will attend a family wedding.

The Winning Streak National Lottery game show, co-presented by Marty Whelan and Sinead Kennedy, will be broadcast this Saturday evening at 8:30 on RTÉ One.
