When you look at the breakdown, with only 2% going towards additional prize money, you can certainly see why it is not in the interest of the national lottery. The national lottery could have opted for a ratio of 60:40, 50:50 or 70:30 but decided to have 98% going towards promotion and advertising and 2% going towards topping up prizes.
