I dont understand how no one in the factory queried that no one ever won the wages.

Who said they didn't?

why did they keep paying him the money if no one was winning? Did you say this factory was in laois?

X = Wages = €450
Y =400 tickets @ €2/ticket = €800

X+Y = €1250


Z = Prize fund = €450

€1250 - Z =  €800


So instead of taking home €450 he is taking home €800

Both those stories are bullshit.
The first because there is no way he could work 23 years without a sick day etc. Just couldn't happen.
The second is because LaoisLad is a notoious bullshitter on here. Added in the semingly innocuous detail that the factory was in Waterford to make it sound more authentic - a common trick of shitetalkers the world over!!!

A good friend of mine has worked 12 years, never had a sick day. Still a long way to go to make it to 23 of course.
Never going on a holiday, especially when you're earning £100k a year, would be very hard to believe. But then again maybe not too difficult to organise a replacement for when he's not there.

Good story though

Dog insurance will pay out £750 if your dog dies.  Bound to be room for a scam there!

What taking in strays insuring them and then killing them off?

Yes, because "Underneath that thin veneer of human civilisation, we're all just a bunch of f**king animals
