    This is actually the worst show RTE has ever made. It makes Winning Streak look like University Challenge in comparison. It's really really bad.

    RTE could be on to a moneymaker here, sell it to the CIA for torture.

    Yer man Nicky Burn is like a reject from Fair City. Was he the best the Lottery could afford??

    My guess is they wanted a new name - Neil Delamere was supposed to be in the running for this job, too.

    They got rid of the audience too because they had to feed them and provide refreshments!

    Its so easily fixable too, there's no way she'll be going home with less than 10k in this even though potentially she could win a tenner!

    64,000 given away, winning streak used to give away over 200,000 a show.
    A complete and utter joke, no one is going to buy tickets for this crock of ****.

    I turned this on for a few minutes. There were two old biddies playing guess the number with as much enthusiasm as filling out a tax form. When they got the numbers right, Nicky then revealed four pieces of black paper with numbers on them in empty CD cases. There was a minor cheer as the biddies found out they won.. €5000.

    It's all just guess work. Ok, Winning Streak was as well but at least there was a bit of purpose to that. This honestly has the production values of a home video.

    I cannot for the life of me figure out the rules either. It's just depressing.
