Does Mr. Algeo not admit that, in the past four months, there has been an increase in sales for the jackpot prize of the national lottery and that, as a result, it is fair to understand that an increasingly high jackpot increases turnover and profitability? There is probably a flipside, however, in that if it gets into the public psyche that a draw or jackpot cannot be won, it hurts sales, which might motivate a private company to seek regulatory change in that regard. Is that the reason the regulatory change was sought?
