Tipperary Parish Lotto: A huge word of thanks to all who have joined our Parish Lotto so far. There has been a fantastic response. The first draw takes place on Thursday 8th April with a Jackpot of €1,000 that It will increase each week to a maximum of €5,000. There will be a lucky dip winner each week. There is still plenty of time to join for the first draw.
The Lotto we hope will be a steady income to St. Michael’s Parish in Tipperary.
Online is very simple to use – go to our Parish Website www.stmichaelsparishtipperary.ie as you do for mass and press the Parish Lotto Button for details on how to join. I’m sure there are family members in every home who can assist you with joining online. Online is also a way for those away from Tipperary to join and support our work here in St. Michael’s.
