Chapter 19 - Exchequer receipts from National Lottery ticket sales
9:30 am
Mr. Andrew Algeo:
From time to time, the national lottery has run advertising to say that almost 30%, or 28%, of ticket sales go to good causes. The advertising campaign that I believe we are talking about was a 90% campaign which stated clearly, and the ASAI and the regulator agreed, that what we meant by the "community" in those advertisements were, as the ad stated, good causes, retailers and prize winners. Those were the findings.
