There are three other prizes on offer for the main draw, ranging from €1,000 vouchers sponsored by Elgin Energy and Nally Brothers to a €300 Voucher for the Castle Court Hotel - Sponsored by Source Technical Providers.
Speaking to the Leader, Club Longford Chairperson Derek Sheridan, stated that, “the fund for the top prize has been increased from €40,000 in 2024 to €50,000 this year and the chance to win the new Toyota RAV4".
He said the annual draw is vital in terms of raising vital funding with all monies distributed to the senior Longford men's team, the senior Longford hurlers and the Longford ladies Gaelic football team.
Mr Sheridan stated there has been fantastic efforts by clubs in Longford who have supported the draw and in previous years they had a target of collecting €100,000 and this year they are looking to increase that.
