Chapter 19 - Exchequer receipts from National Lottery ticket sales
9:30 am
Mr. Andrew Algeo:
No, the absolute amounts. All stakeholders have benefited from a situation in which national lottery sales had fallen by 20% in the previous seven years to a situation where, for instance, good causes returns are up 62% in those seven years. There are many parts to running the lottery, promotion being only one of them, but promotion is a very important part of it.
