The National Lottery wants the Government to ban the practice of betting on National Lottery games in bookmakers and on betting apps.
It points to a new report carried out by consultants Indicon, which states that around €289 million euro in potential lottery sales has been diverted to bookmakers because of lottery betting, resulting in losses for smaller retailers and less money for Good Causes.
Well rich people don’t need to do the lottery and on average people who aren’t rich are the ones losing money for the desperate hope of some way to claw themselves out of the poverty trap.
No how are the odds better?
