程阳：National Lottery (United Kingdom) (1)
As operator of The National Lottery, Camelot is committed to maximising returns to the Good Causes in a socially responsible way.
Camelot already runs the most cost-efficient lottery in Europe - an achievement that has helped the UK National Lottery to generate over £22 billion for the Good Causes, and counting.
As has always been the case, the total amount which goes to the Good Causes depends on the mix of sales across different games and sales channels, the level of unclaimed prizes – and the amount raised in investment income from National Lottery balances waiting to be allocated.
In the period up to March 2010, around 28% of total National Lottery revenue is expected to go to the Good Causes.
During the new licence, over 50% of total National Lottery revenue is expected to be paid to winners in prizes, while 12% of total revenue is expected to be paid to the Government in Lottery Duty. National Lottery retailers will earn 5% in sales commission for each draw-based game – and 6% commission on each Scratchcard (Camelot’s retailers earn on average &opund;8,531 per annum in lottery commission). Operating costs will be around 4% of total revenue.
In line with the incentivised model introduced by the NLC for the third Licence period, the percentage of profit will be determined by how much the operator raises for Good Causes. Depending on performance, total profits across the course of the licence will range from 0.3% to a maximum of 0.5% of total revenue.
Camelot is not responsible for the allocation or distribution of lottery funds.
In the period up to March 2010, around 28% of total National Lottery revenue is expected to go to the Good Causes. In the last year this was distributed as follows:
- Health, Education, Environment, and charitable causes 50%
- Sports 16.67%
- Arts 16.67%
- Heritage 16.67%
Lottery Funding

In the last year, this 28 pence was distributed as follows:
- Health, Education, Community & Charity (the Big Lottery Fund) 50%
- Sport 17%
- Arts 17%
- Heritage 17%.
Over £18 billion has been raised for good causes to date, with over £28 million of this coming to South Tyneside, with projects such as the Millennium PHAB Club, Jarrow, and South Marine Park, South Shields, being amongst the largest of those benefiting this area. At the other end of the spectrum, but no less important, 60 South Tyneside Voluntary and Community Groups received Awards for All grants of up to £5,000 last year.

The National Lottery is the United Kingdom's largest lottery and a Non-Departmental Public Body. It is operated by Camelot Group, to whom the licence was granted in 1994, 2001 and again in 2007. The lottery is regulated by The National Lottery Commission. The National Lottery undertook a major rebranding programme in 2002 designed to combat falling sales. This resulted in the main game being renamed Lotto. However, the games as a collective are still known as The National Lottery. It is one of the most popular forms of gambling in the United Kingdom.
All prizes are paid as a lump sum and are tax-free. Of every pound (£) spent on Lottery games, 50 pence (p) goes to the prize fund, 28p to 'good causes' as set out by Parliament (though some of this is considered by some to be a stealth tax[1] levied to support the New Opportunities fund, a fund constituted to support public spending[2]), 12p to the British Government as duty and 5p to retailers as commission, while Camelot receives 4.5p to cover operating costs and 0.5p profit [1]. Players must be at least 16 years of age to participate in the lottery, either in the drawn lottery games or by purchase of lottery scratch cards.

There are twelve different machines that can be used for the Lotto draw. The machine and set of lottery balls to be used is selected at random, and is announced just prior to the draw. The machines are designated Merlin, Arthur, Galahad, Vyvyan, Lancelot, Garnet, Topaz, Opal, Amethyst, Moonstone, Pearl and Sapphire. Guinevere has also been a designated machine in the past but has now been retired. Ball sets, of which there are eight, are designated by number.
