- Public Accounts Committee: 2021 Report on the Accounts of the Public Services of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Chapter 19 - Exchequer receipts from National Lottery ticket sales (8 Dec 2022) Brian Stanley: It is a very broad interpretation and I find it misleading. I do not claim it was scientific but I asked a number of people who play the lottery what they thought the claim in the advertising that 90% of the proceeds from ticket sales goes to the community meant.

Chapter 19 - Exchequer receipts from National Lottery ticket sales (8 Dec 2022) Brian Stanley: I hear complaints from people who play the lottery that since the two extra balls were introduced, it has become much harder to win and there are far fewer winners.

Chapter 19 - Exchequer receipts from National Lottery ticket sales (8 Dec 2022) Brian Stanley: Okay. I was anxious to know where that idea came from. When the prize went to €19 million because the jackpot had not been won, it had rolled over 51 times. That is an extraordinary amount. The public was getting a bit annoyed, to put it mildly. A decision was taken to change and put a limit on it. Was €19 million the must-win limit?

Chapter 19 - Exchequer receipts from National Lottery ticket sales (8 Dec 2022) Brian Stanley: I can say the excitement went out of it after about 20 or 30 weeks. People were not as excited then. There was a lot of frustration. I picked it up and I do not take much interest in these matters because I am not a gambler, or my gambling is extremely limited. There was a credibility issue with the public. Did the company pick that up?

Chapter 19 - Exchequer receipts from National Lottery ticket sales (8 Dec 2022) Brian Stanley: Hold on for a second Deputy. I would not expect Mr. Algeo to say he knows Joe Bloggs, who is a technical engineer, got such an amount as a bonus. One question the Deputy asked is whether everybody in the company gets it. A "Yes" or "No" to that would be helpful.
