Financial Statements 2021: National Lottery Fund

9:30 am

Ms Carol Boate:

The licence states that the money must be used solely for the promotion of the national lottery in a manner determined by the licensee. That is the primary purpose of the funding. It then puts a restriction on it, which is that it, "shall include the funding of special draws ... and ... may include Incremental Marketing and advertising of the National Lottery ... or such other activities to promote the National Lottery".
