But you'll have to be quick...
An Applegreen in Cavan is celebrating selling a winning EuroMillions ticket by selling fuel at a vastly reduced rate for 99 minutes tomorrow.
The N3 Cavan Service Station operated by Applegreen sold a winning EuroMillions ticket worth €500,000 in Tuesday night's EuroMillions Plus draw.
To celebrate this success, the service station will be selling petrol and diesel for 99c for between 10am and 11.39am on Friday, April 28. Or at least they will be, as long as stocks last during this window according to the
Sunday World.
As if this wasn't enough for motorists near that location, there's also a widespread initiative being run by Applegreen and the Road Safety Authority offering customers a free coffee in particpating stores on Friday and Monday of the Bank Holiday weekend.
To help drivers stay alert behind the wheel over the May Bank Holiday Weekend, the RSA and Applegreen will provide free cups of coffee to drivers between 2pm and 8pm on Friday April 28, and Monday May 1, at participating service stations. Simply say RSA or ‘Driver Reviver’ to the till operator to avail of a free coffee. A list of participating stations is available
here.
With it estimated that driver fatigue is a contributory factor in as many as 1 in 5 driver deaths in Ireland every year, Chief Executive, Road Safety Authority, Ms Moyagh Murdock said: “We want everyone to enjoy the bank holiday weekend without fear of meeting a driver impaired by either alcohol, drugs or both.
"However, drivers who get behind the wheel while fatigued are just as much a risk to themselves and other road users.
"Ideally, people need 7 to 8 hours’ sleep every night. Drivers suffering from a sleep debt are at risk of ‘nodding off’ whilst driving and substantially increase their risk of being involved in a crash. If drivers do feel the effects of fatigue whilst driving they should remember to Stop, Sip and Sleep – Stop the car in a safe place, Sip a caffeine drink, and Sleep for 15-20 minutes. This should enable you to continue driving for another hour or so."
