A Doolin man scooped a €5000 cash prize to mark the Bank Holiday Weekend.

Father of two, Roy Thomas who works as a construction supervisor became €5000 richer after entering a radio competition on Spin South West.

He correctly said U2 was the Irish rock band that The Edge was a member of. Roy was at the cinema with his son Michael when the call came through to reveal he had won the cash.

With his phone on silent while watching ‘Space Jam: A New Legacy’, Roy almost missed the all-important call.

“I’ve entered a lot of these competitions and you never think you’re going to win; I was delighted to get the call and glad I didn’t miss it,” he said of his winnings.

He plans on taking his family on holidays to Portugal for a well-earned break with the prize.
