As Mr. McGuire stated, there are two ends of the prizes here. This newsagent who, in the particular example given to me, is a 65 year old, gave €50 to Rehab, the newsagent takes a commission additional to that and then the remaining money is used by the newsagent to pay out the individuals who come to them who have one prizes at the low-end of the market. Anything under €20, the newsagent is paying out in his or her shop. Is that how it operates? The €200 in sales is not going back to Rehab. Only a percentage of that goes back and it is roughly 30%.
