The regulator is funded by €1.5 million and the operator gets €103 million. I have asked members of the public what they believe that means. I do not claim this is scientific but I asked people locally what they thought about the 90% claim and they took it to mean that 90% of all money from ticket sales goes into the community and good causes, as in various environmental, charitable, community groups, organisations, projects, etc. That was their firm belief based on the advertising. That is what they take the national lottery advertising to mean. Does Mr. Algeo accept that there is a problem of credibility with that advertising?
