Commenting on the win at the Newbridge branch Tuesday, BoyleSports head of communications, Leon Blanche said: “It is simply incredible and heart-warming to see one of our loyal customers win such a life changing sum of money, which is made all the more sweet as he only placed a small €3 bet. Scooping €250000 is no mean feat, but also to bag an extra €7,500 on the same numbers is astonishing.”
