William is an avid antiques collector and also enjoys walking in his spare time.

William's winning ticket was bought from O’Donovan’s Newsagent, Passage West.

at the weekend's show, five players from Carlow, Kilkenny, Louth, Cork and Meath won prizes to the value of €228,000. The biggest winner on the night was Gerard Larkin from Louth who won prizes to the value of €66,000.
