The decision by the National Lottery and RTE to hold the Lotto draw on Christmas Day for the first time has been met with criticism.  

Is it inappropriate to broadcast the Lotto draw on what is considered a family day and why has this decision been made this year, when it was never broadcast in other years.  Would it be any harm to move the airing of the Lotto to Thursday or is this all over the top and people are over reacting? 

Do you think the Lotto draw shouldn't be shown on Christmas Day and does it actually contribute to promoting gambling?   

Or is it no harm and that some people are over reacting?  Ciara heard from listeners.
