Fair play is the name of the game on Winning Streak

I AM responding to the letter published in the Irish Examiner of January 20 from James A Gleeson, of Thurles, Co Tipperary.

The profits, or surplus, from the sale of scratch cards, together with the sale of all other lottery games are transferred directly to the Government for allocation to the beneficiary projects in sport, arts, health and welfare, youth and recreation, charities and the Irish language.

No private profits are made from the operation of the National Lottery.
