Operator seeks changes to Irish lottery after no jackpot win since June

Controversy leads to parliamentary inquiry, calls for must-be-won' draw similar to UK's - and Shergar jokes

For six months the jackpot has yet to be won, prompting calls for an investigation, a reduction in the number of balls to increase the chances of a win and on Wednesday, a parliamentary inquiry.
