Race against the clock sees lucky Roscommon winner bag trolley load of goodies

A Trolley Dash winner in County Roscommon managed to grab €340 worth of goodies in a race against the clock at the Lidl store in Roscommon Town.

Karen Towey was the lucky Roscommon winner of Lidl Ireland’s annual festive fundraising Christmas Trolley Dash.

The Trolley Dash has raised more than €300,000 in support of charity partner Jigsaw, the National Centre for Youth Mental Health. Now in its tenth year, the fundraising initiative received phenomenal widespread support from generous customers across Lidl’s 179 stores nationwide, with Lidl customers in County Roscommon raising more than €3,000 for Jigsaw.

Winning customers of the Trolley Dash fundraiser have been dashing through the aisles of their local stores for the chance to bag their Christmas shopping and fill a trolley load of groceries and festive treats, just in time for Christmas.

For two weeks in November, Trolley Dash tickets are sold in Lidl stores for €1 each, offering customers the chance to win a supermarket sweep style dash around their local nearest Lidl store.

This year, ticket sales were donated to Lidl’s charity partner, Jigsaw, whose mission is to support youth mental health in Ireland. Jigsaw provides vital support to more than 250,000 young people and their families in schools, communities, workplaces and clubs across Ireland. Since its launch in 2014, Lidl’s Trolley Dash has raised more than €2 million for local Irish charities and given away trolley loads of Christmas groceries to thousands of lucky winners.
