Continuity: Early in the film before he learns of Ned's death, Jackie says that there are 52 people living in the village, but once he learns of Ned's death, he still says that the winnings will be split into shares of 52.

Continuity: The David Kelly character had an MZ motorcycle. At different times of the film his foot is seen in close up kickstarting it. The kick starter apparently changes sides from the left to the right side of the engine.

Continuity: 'Dead' Ned's eyes move during the scene when he is found in his chair with the lottery ticket in his hand.

Continuity: At the end of the movie in the pub when the lotto man awards "Ned" his cheque, Jackie pins it on the dart board with a dart in the front center of the cheque. In the very next shot, the dart is placed somewhere else.

Deliberate "mistake": In the funeral scene, Ned Devine himself (i.e. the actor who played his dead body) is one of the extras sitting in the back row.

Continuity: In the pub, when the shot is from the left, the pints of Guinness are not full, from the right, they are full. (Time)
