There are two ways the lottery can spend the money. As a matter of interest, would there be anything stopping the company if it decided to allocate a portion of that money towards good causes? Is it so rigid that it has to be spent on top-up prizes or marketing, or is there a flexibility such that if it decided that it would apportion some of that towards good causes, it could do so?
