Star Tipperary hurler Lar Corbett denies he's part of Lotto-winning syndicate

The winning ticket for Wednesday’s draw was sold in Thurles.

ALL STAR HURLER Lar Corbett has this morning dismissed reports that he has won a share of Wednesday’s €10.6million Lotto jackpot.

The Tipperary forward is currently in New York with a Gaelic Players Association delegation, which is helping to rebuild sports facilities in Hurricane Sandy-hit Breezy Point.

But this morning, after increasing speculation in Thurles, Corbett moved to halt the rumours.

“I would like to put a stop to all the stories about the €10.6 million it is not TRUE,” the Thurles Sarsfields man tweeted.

Yesterday, when asked by reporters in New York, Corbett insisted he didn’t know anything about a lottery win but said he and his business partner often enter the draw together. Corbett co-owns and runs a bar in Thurles.

    Lar is becoming a PR genius. First we had the “retirement” last year that coincided with a book and now we have a story of him winning the Lotto that he won’t deny. Of course he won’t, what would it cost him to have his name and business mentioned on every online forum, on every radio station and in every paper?? It’s free publicity, he must be sitting back laughing at how easy it was to con people for a second time in 12 months.

    If he did win the Lotto, what business is it for the media to be printing it all over the front pages? Tabloid bullsh*t headline. Having your name associated with money can be as much of a curse as a blessing..

    You have a picture with Kirk Hammett.. Kirk is the man. I bet he wouldn’t care if Lar won the lotto or not.

    Tanya, he has denied it now and this article has been updated since but it was originally the article about him possibly winning it.

    I wouldn’t really blame the media “Fin Tastic” as I could just imagine the cryptic way Lar would have answered a straight forward question from a journalist but all the time knowing that he would get a lot of free publicity and that is exactly what happened.

    As I said earlier it was a PR masterstroke from Lar yet again. People shouldn’t be so gullible.
