Magheracloone Mitchells, a club from Monaghan, hosted their weekly club lotto ticket pick and many Magheracloone supporters won't be happy with the winner of the €1000 cash prize.
The winning ticket was pulled out by Magheracloone Ladies GFC chairwoman Lindsey Mullen. After taking a second to look at the name on the ticket, both hosts on the live stream let out a sigh, one saying 'Jesus' while Mullen laughing says ''that won't be a popular one tonight but how and ever''
Mullen then reads out the name on the card, 'Banty' with the address ''You know where to find me''.
It could only be one man.

Magheracloone supporters will be extra-frustrated by Banty's Magheracloone club lotto win, as only last week his Corduff side had a 2-8 to 1-8 victory over their local rivals in the senior league last Friday.
One Magheracloone fan commented on the video, joking:
''Did he not get enough from us last Friday no''.
Banty's Managing Career
Banty has been a thorn in the side of Magheracloone in recent years. His Corduff side also managed to beat their rivals Magheracloone in two finals last year, which helped Corduff claim senior status.
Banty's success with Corduff should come as no surprise to many Monaghan supporters as he was a well-established inter-county manager, managing three counties over an 18-year time span.
McEnaney managed his home county on two occasions, his first stint as manager was from 2004-2010.
During this time Banty managed to get his side to a National Football League Divison 2 title in 2005. McEnaney also led Monaghan to their first Ulster Senior Football Championship final in 19 years in 2007 and again in 2010 but his team lost out to Tyrone on both occasions.
Banty also managed Meath from 2010-2012 and Wexford from 2016-2017 before returning as manager to Monaghan in 2019 where he stayed on till 2022, before leaving his position.
