Regulator: Lotto games should show odds of winning as probability 'difficult to understand'

The report states that the amount of the National Lottery’s turnover returned to the Exchequer for good causes had increased by 14% from 2020 to €289.7m.

The National Lottery regulator called for the odds of winning a prize on the lottery’s games to be included on the games themselves after complaints were received from players.

The regulator said that due to probability and randomness being “difficult concepts to understand”, it made sense to include the odds of winning “in players’ interests”.
