We have established a number of things. None of the unclaimed prize money of €121 million-plus over a six-year period went to good causes or into the community. We have established that 98% of it was used for advertising and just 2% of it was used for extra prizes.

We have teased out the words "shall" and "may" and highlighted the problem in that regard. Based on the figures that were given, I found out that 28% of "gaming revenue", which is the term used, goes back into the community via the various organisations and good causes.
