Aisling celebrating her €200,000 prize

A Kildare woman won €200,000 on national radio last week.

Aisling Ward from Corduff, Kildare won €200,000 on Today FM’s Christmas Cash Machine on last Friday.

Aisling was home at the time she answered the call from Barry Dunne and was in shock about her big win.

Aisling said that the money will go a long way to pay off bills, mortgage payments, Christmas, and a holiday for the family of five, who will each get a vote to decide where they will go.

The Kildare woman said: "It's like there's a little man in your head saying this is a prank! Because this is the sort of thing that happens to other people, it certainly doesn't happen to me. It's changed my life."

“It hasn't sunk in yet. It's still like oh my god did that actually happen? Before this I would have been sitting thinking 'If I won that I'd go here, I'd do this'.

"But when it happens to you that goes out the window. Your whole thought process starts to change, and you start thinking 'what am I actually going to do with it?”

Congratulations Aisling!
