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.

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.
