Lotto depression
Sir, – So the largest ever lotto jackpot in Ireland has been won. Being based in Dublin, I had the few minutes of excitement as I checked my tickets, hoping I had won it. Alas, my dreams were dashed. Now I am in a lotto depression. I am curious as to who has won the jackpot. Now forget the 'it would be lovely if a friend or neighbour won it'. Sorry, but the green-eyed jealousy monster won't allow that. I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking that way. Suddenly, €250 million is way too much for one person or group to win! It will destroy his/her/their lives. READ MORE Yes, if it can't be me, it shouldn't be anyone else! As I said, post-lotto dejection has set in. Therapy may be required to ease this, or else, there is one other option. I'll just have to go and buy another ticket. – Yours, etc, BRIAN CULLEN, Dublin 16.
