If I was running the national lottery, I would have a good argument with Mr. Donohoe about "shall" or "may" if he decided to poke around in my figures. That is not his fault-----

The Chairman is correct in that we have no role in the proportion that goes into, say, three buckets with one being for prizes, one for the promotion of the national lottery and one for what is left over for good causes. We have no role over the ratio going into each of those. We just have to make sure it goes into those three.
