If I bought 1 lottery ticket, in percentages where does my £1.00 go?
Answers:
50% prizes
28% "good causes"
12% treasury
5% operator (Camelot)
5% retailer
"Good causes" money is split
Health and Education 32% (don't we pay for them through our taxes?)
Charities 17%
Sport 17%
Art 17%
Heritage 17%
So each of those last 4 categories - the ones people think they're helping - get less than 5p in the pound.
Into other people's pockets!! - You don't see any of it!!
