I intend to construct it so that the good causes contribution will be linked to a percentage of what is called the "gross gaming revenues", which is basically the sales less the prizes. The reason I am doing that is that the variety of games offer a different prize fund. Despite what we might think, most people play the lotto to win a prize, not to support good causes. However, there is a comfort in being able to say one's money is going to a good cause and that is important.
