Maybe the FAI should have a punt because the odds would be better of winning than getting that kind of money off the Government, unlike a certain other sporting organisation........!

�96,000,000 of a jackpot!! Yum yum.

One can turn a pokey Junior Soccer Club into Top Dogs of Irish soccer with that money.

Whoever wins that money will be a big time Charlie.

I think Adam's cynicism is unwarranted though as I see many people who are neither stupid nor desperate playing the lotto and you also cannot ignore its charitable contributions.

i play the irish lotto now and again.and do the euromillions every 2nd week on average.thats E7 a month.that makes no difference even to someone who cant really afford it strictly speaking
i find the euromillions is easier to win for some reason.usually get more numbers on euromillions compared to the irish lotto,which i never seem to get any numbers on
E96M euromillions next week. what could i do with that....

btw michael jackson is asset-rich.hes far from broke.if worst came to sorst he could sell his asssets (land,beatles rights etc) and still have a couple of hundred million after paying off his debts
