What winnings? The draw hasn’t taken place yet!
Is it thicker they’re gettin’?
It’s also against Facebook guidelines
He didn’t do the PLUS? Dealbreaker. Me no likey. Keep your NO Plus money, Dave.
No less transparent or desperate than, oh I dunno, proposing a cut to the USC in order to garner votes for a general election.
Well, people are actually guaranteed to get something from that.
Someone should go out and buy a ticket with those exact numbers, that way, they’ll end up with a much larger share of the the jackpot.
Or at least reply to his post with a picture of said ticket just to shove it in his face, cause the chances of anyone involved in this whole sordid affair of actually winning anything is very slim.
“Someone” like you perhaps….
It could be poo.
Good stroke tho’
They’ll all be at it now
Saw a local supermarket chain pulling this stunt already this week. 8,000 feckin shares no less.
and these people are allowed vote.
He probably placed a bet with Paddy Power.
Hooray!
ANOTHER politician who doesn’t understand math, statistics, probability or legal terms & conditions!
Odds of winning on that ticket: 23,306,360 to 1. Or 0.00000429%
Thought it is nice to finally be able to put a number on the likelihood of a politician’s promise being worth worrying about…
I’m glad someone came up with the odds, thanks.
It just proves how ridiculously desperate these political-wannabes are.
And the odds are only that high because he bought several lines.
The odds off one line are 116,531,800 to 1 (or 0.000000858%). And I had to use my computer’s calculator to work that out because my old leaving cert calculator literally cannot handle numbers that small.
Nice to know that people who want to be put in charge of things like budgets and planning have such a grasp of the fundamentals…
Ye can swing the odds all ye like
And torment me with all them decimal points
But lemme tell ye sum’ting
Tomorrow or maybe the next day
Some lucky ‘ûnt will be swimming in chambers
And I’m here suppin’ tay
The only thing Fianna Fail ever shared with Ireland was crippling dept
Suck my b@lls McGuinness. Suck my b@lls…
Will he share any future kickbacks?
Cheap? Not if he wins the lotto. I mean the Euro Millions.
More evidence that facebook is for the idiots and innocent
