Ireland’s first guaranteed winner, community focused, charitable lottery, Location Lotto is the new innovative brainchild of young Roscommon entrepreneurs Barry Walsh and David O’Carroll.
Location Lotto is a weekly lottery which guarantees a winner every time a draw is made while also ensuring that a generous sum is awarded to a local or national charity.
Based in The Hive in Carrick-on-Shannon, Location Lotto’s mission is to provide a new exciting lottery platform for players to win a weekly jackpot prize, all the while helping and assisting their local charities with every ticket played. The weekly jackpot winner will be given the choice to select which charity or cause that they would like to receive a matched jackpot benefit.
Location Lotto had its first winner just last week when Limerick woman Lisa Cremins O’Driscoll’s ticket was drawn. Lisa scooped €500 cash for herself, which Location Lotto then matched. The matching amount of €500 went to Limerick Marine Search and Rescue, a charity close to Lisa’s heart.
