Issues Related to the National Lottery: Discussion
Ms Carol Boate:
I have an active role regarding that element of the licence. The licence requires that expired unclaimed prizes are given to the operator, in the first instance, to spend on promoting the national lottery. At least once a year, I get a report on how much money has expired in unclaimed prizes and how much money the operator has spent on marketing and promoting the national lottery. I am able to compare those, in addition to other reports going on in the background, to ensure and check that the money is being correctly spent in accordance with the terms of the licence.
