Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach

Issues Related to the National Lottery: Discussion

Mr. Andrew Algeo:

The jackpot has been capable of being won at all times since the game was designed in 2016. It has been running for six years. As chance has had it, the game has been won on many occasions but this particular jackpot has not been won and has been in a roll since June. The broad direction of the proposal which we have made to the regulator is that we would have a draw whereby if nobody wins the jackpot, that is, matches the top six numbers, the moneys would instead be won by winners in the tier below that where there are winners and as a result it would be certain that the jackpot amount is paid to players.
