Overview of Operations of the National Lottery: Discussion

4:00 pm

Ms Tara Buckley:

Yes. We turn the lights on, provide a member of staff and open and run shops. It was very important that we maintained our 6% margin. The Deputy must remember that I represent shops throughout the country which are struggling. The national lottery is important because it creates footfall in stores. It is important that stores attract people in, and something like the national lottery is important to our members.
