Ms Carol Boate:

Exactly, and if it said "may" put money into top-up prizes, we might have had - I do not know - 0% because it would have been "may" not "shall". The other thing is, as the Deputy will know, any clause of a contract or licence is read in the context of the entire licence. In the context of the entire licence, incremental marketing is defined, rather circularly, as not base marketing. In some ways that "may" makes it explicitly clear that, when the operator is promoting the national lottery, it is not in breach of its requirements to spend base marketing money by also doing this other marketing.
