State faces €1.5bn compo claim over Lottery dominance
One is seeking a judicial review of Justice Minister Alan Shatter’s decision to phase out the State’s compensation lottery payments over the next three years, and the other seeks compensation for past and future loss of market share and profits due to the National Lottery’s position in the market.
The largest is a €1.5bn compensation claim Rehab lodged last October, arguing that it has suffered massive multimillion-euro losses as a result of the National Lottery’s dominant position in the market.
