It was a €600,000 draw which paid out €40,000. You had a 800/1 chance [12,000 * €50 tickets and 15 winners] of winning, but if you did win, most of the prizes paid out 2/1 [most of the 15 prizes were €100].
It was just collecting donations without disclosure.

Well done @BowesChay whose legal challenge last Thursday triggered the scrapping of this 'draw', thinly veiled donations without declaration. But what about the District Court judge who granted the "lottery licence". Image
When you consider the media coverage of the Willie Hampton €4m bequest to the Shinners and the conniptions of FF and FG, there's been precious little coverage of these 'draws' [FF take in €550k net, FG take in €900k net a year] Image
The scrapping of this draw is a huge blow to FF. In contrast to FG (below, most not all TDs and senators donating) and SF (all donating), FF TDs and Senators don't routinely donate from their impressive salaries and expenses to the party.
How will FF now fund itself 😨 Image

You won't be reading about these stats published by the Dept of Justice [International Protection Office section] this morning. There were 329 applications for asylum in the month of Oct 2021, and no, the tsunami of Afghans hasn't hit these figs yet.

The Top #3 countries for asylum seekers in Ireland in 2021 are Nigeria (355), Georgia (215) and Somalia (185).
Georgia is the other side of Europe, puts on a good Eurovision entry and is regarded by Ireland as a "safe" country. Image
Many of these asylum seekers are coming through Rosslare, and the scale of the numbers indicates there's collusion between hauliers, port staff, Gardai and Dept of Justice.
Is that too tinfoil hat for you? Just read what US says about us each year. ImageImage
