Limerick woman to step in for dad on Winning Streak

Limerick woman to step in for dad on Winning Streak

Janet Ryan from Foynes will step in for dad Edward and meet Sinead and Marty on Saturday night

A woman from Foynes will be doing her father a good turn this Saturday night, when she appears in his place on the National Lottery Winning Streak TV game show on RTÉ One.

Janet Ryan who lives in Churchtown in Co. Cork, but is originally from the port village, will be appearing on Winning Streak on behalf of her father, Edward Ryan this weekend.

When news of the TV appearance filtered down, it was assumed straight away that Janet would be the one to go on the show for her dad – after all she his eldest child!

Janet is more than happy to do the good deed for her dad and is looking forward to the Winning Streak experience – as is the rest of her family! She is the eldest of her siblings, three brothers who are Declan, John and Edward Junior.

Janet has been living in the Rebel County for the past 12 years with her husband JJ. The couple have two boys – Dylan and Jaden who are beyond excited to cheer their mum on this weekend.

They will be joined by Janet’s three brothers, her mum Joan and of course Edward Senior and other members of family from Limerick.

The Winning Streak National Lottery game show, co-presented by Marty Whelan and Sinead Kennedy, will be broadcast this Saturday evening at the earlier-than-usual time of 19:30 on RTÉ One.

The show features some perennial favorite games as well but also brand new games including Play or Pay, Roll for Riches, WinFall and Electric Dream – where one player will win an electric car worth €25,000.
