It is a very broad interpretation and I find it misleading. I do not claim it was scientific but I asked a number of people who play the lottery what they thought the claim in the advertising that 90% of the proceeds from ticket sales goes to the community meant. They told me they thought it went to local organisations, sports clubs, environmental projects and so on. Is Mr. Algeo aware that unclaimed prizes in the British lottery go to good causes after 180 days?
