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.
Bet Tommy Walsh regrets all that running away from Larry now
or maybe the ticket ended up like lar – in Tommy Walsh’s pocket
Haha very good JJK
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.
He denied winning the lotto in the article above
Regardless if he did or didn’t I wish the winner/s nothing but happiness and long life to enjoy their winnings.
what if it happens to be a Mr Burns-type of individual, would you still be happy for em?
I actually would Barry, If luck is for you it won’t pass you.
Best of luck to him if he is, he can buy his own skoda now n play on god years
For years
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..
The money is just resting in his account..
Who cares if he did.. Or didn’t.. A bullshit story..
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.
