Mr. Dermot Griffin:

We have changed the results sheets to show them in sequence. That is one of the changes we implemented since we took over the national lottery, based on feedback from our retailers and our players.

A component of “The Million Euro Challenge” gameshow requires input into an online system. Entering the show is the normal way of collecting three stars and posting them to us to be selected for the following show. The show is recorded on a Wednesday to facilitate RTE in editing the programme. “Winning Streak” was recorded on a Saturday afternoon.

The difficulty is that by the time the show finishes, there is not much time to edit the programme before it goes on air. However, if it is recorded on a Wednesday there are several days available for editing.
