I assure the Deputy there is no plan to change the current position of tax exemption for lotto winnings. That is one of the attractions of the lotto. If the Revenue Commissioners knocks on the door of someone who claims to have won the lotto, it is reasonable to give it the ability to check such claims. A former significant office holder in this land once won money on the horses.
