Balls?

What happened OP ? I need to know because I'm sure I'm going to win it tonight.

branie

We'll find out when it comes back during the break in Fair City

Bongalongherb

They probably read the wrong number on one of the balls again.

branie

They were unable to select the numbers for Lotto + 1 and 2 in the first attempt.

Frosty McSnowballs

They should call the numbers out in dirty slang like in a game of sexy bingo.

So, the ball-machine broke ?

RobbingBandit

Demand a refund then, sounds like a fix to me, rabble, rabble, rabble.

I didn't see the live lotto myself. Looks like another per usual feck-up regarding live tv after just "illegally" fixing the machines IMO..





The above comment has no real reflection on reality or personal accusations towards RTE. IMO

Some complaining about a cross dresser on lunchtime TV probably.
It was very surreal.

Frosty McSnowballs

'You're lookin' Fcukin' fine....Number 9'
'Unlucky for some, up the bum...Number 13'
'Here mrs, show us yer gee....Number 23'

And that concludes tonight's midweek lotto, the results can also be found on teletext page 'dinner for two...Number 69'.

Bongalongherb

They put much more powerful magnets in each ball this time, making them all stick together so a single ball could not exit the machine.

The youtube poster made it Private, that's why you cannot view it.

The spell began to wear off and Brian ormonde started to turn back into a mannequin. The hazards of live telly!

Bring back Ronan Collins ...all is forgiven !

At an educated guess it looks like his auto-cue went blank and despite being paid close to 200k a year and doing the lotto umpteen times over the years he wasn't arsed winging it.

RTE seem notorious for cock ups:

At least our lotto only lasts a few minutes or so. The BBC like to draw their one out:

"And the first number out is number 7. The 183rd time this number has been drawn. Usually considered a lucky number for some. The next number out is number 13. The 230th time we've seen this number, and still considered unlucky to those of you that are supersticious. . ." And so on so forth. And, add to that, the "banter" between the voiceover chap, and whoever is presenting.

At least it's better than the older days:

Voiceover: "And the first number out is number 11. . ."

Audience cheer.

Voiceover: "The next number is number 8. . ."

Audience cheer. . .

And, we have never had a psychic either, who could 'predict' who was going to win.

I near pissed myself laughing at that. Especially 'Number 23'. I think my housemate thinks there's something wrong with me, because I've been in a complete knot of laughing for the last 5 minutes. Tears running down my face laughing at this. Priceless. Probably because I'm just visualising a bingo hall full of auld women being horrified at these.

And technically it would be "Dinner for two, with a terrible view... Number 69".

Also:

"Dirty Gertie, from Number 30".

Don't know why but he reminds me of Fidelmas boyfriend in moone boy or Michael English ah well if the lotto doesn't work out for him he could audition as a double or get them to do the lotto.
