It was the operator's decision. I feel that a lot of the €120 million, which was the money from the extra draws, should have gone to good causes but I was surprised when I saw that in fact the figure was only 2%. When we look at the balance in terms of advertising and PR, which is another way of promoting the lotto, one would imagine that the extra draws would be an incentive for people. Does the regulator not find it odd that the operator came to the conclusion that 98% of it should go into advertising? Is the answer “Yes” or “No”? Does it sit easy with Mr. Donohoe?
