A lucky Dublin software engineer won a cool €59,000 after a birthday scratch card landed him on Winning Streak.
35-year-old Robert Smyth from Aylesbury, Dublin 24, said he was as surprised as anybody to hear that his name was called out to appear on Winning Streak last week, as he confessed that he rarely buys a ticket or even watches the popular show!
Robert has his mother in-law Rose to thank for his appearance on the show, as she gifted him a scratch card for his birthday, which led to him landing the lucky three-star entry which got him on the show.
He was joined in the Winning Streak studio with all of his family which included his dad, Sean, mother, Marie, sister, Carol and some of his aunts, uncles and cousins.
While he admitted he has no firm plans for his huge haul, he said he will treat his family with the windfall.
