Anyone thinking of having a go at this or is the National Lottery more than enough ?

[Ankou]

when and where do the numbers get drawn ?

have they confirmed yet where the money is going ?

[redman41]

As far as I know Ankou the Draw is made on ITV and Channel 5 every Sat and results will appear in Sunday Papers.
Money will go to regional good causes

[bednobs]

isn't it only a small% that goes to health charities though?

[redman41]

I think it's 20% bednobs

[ummmm]

So they said on the news this morning Bednobs...

You mean the make Richard Desmond richer lottery or the make Richard Desmond a knight lottery.

I was a bit dubious about the health lottery, the name sounds like the lottery has good intentions but when interviewed the people behind this lottery seemed a little hazy and unclear on the good causes

[stokemaveric]

well the national lottery doesnt pay the correct odds for prizes so this seems a better deal for players..

[redman41]

As far as I can make out cazz the Peoples Health Trust will distribute the Money across Great Britain to health related good causes

[redman41]

Agree stokey, better odds on the lower numbers than the Natonal Lottery.
The Irish Lottery at the Bookies pays better money on the lower numbers also

[Dee Sa]

how many more do we need ? National lottery, the Euro lottery, our local hospice now has a lottery and now theres the Health lottery, I wont have any money left at this rate.

No going on the amount of money that will be donated. I know it's in the DM, but there as piece about it in todays paper. Other similar charities are concerned that this will taking money away from their cause, including The Lottery.
£1 ticket just 20.3p will go towards health inequalities, whatever that means.

[emmie]

Run by Richard Desmond, owner of Channel Five, and any number of X rated channels, so it says, humm

I like the idea of a lot more money going to small prizes .
I also like the idea that the Health Lottery good cause money is going to small concerns .

The Nat Lott is obsessed of handing out Millions to one person in 14 million.

The Nat Lott also originally promised they would support little concerns like community centres, small sports centres , retired peoples clubs etc. My local ex servicman's club only wanted £300 towards repairing the roof and it was refused.
But the Nat Lott paid £700 million to the millenium dome, £70 mill to the Royal Opera House , £50 million to the Tate, £55 million to the Royal Shakespeare Co. £120 mill to the Wembley Stadium.

Most people do not buy Lott tickets to support good causes . T

[modeller]

cont They buy to win but if 20% of their money is to go to good causes then it should go to help the communities as a whole not just the few. Less than 2% ever go to an opera and the National Gallery.
