If you know about lotteries then the term 'national lottery' is more likely to be familiar to you. Although many lotteries prefix the term 'national' to their names; but that could never question the identity of the National Lottery. It is the largest draw in the UK and one of the biggest in the world.
The National Lottery Commission regulates the draw and keeps it fair to the people. Any unjust practices and cheats that aim the jackpot are ruled out by the commission. The lottery maintains a level of transparency and you can easily find out where your money exactly goes.
Of every pound you put in, 50% goes to the prize fund (which constitutes the jackpot), 28% goes to 'good causes' designated by the UK Parliament, 12% to the British government and 5% is paid as retailers' commission. The remaining amount is taken by the organizers.
Due to the diminishing popularity of the National lottery, it had to undergo a massive re-branding process in the year 2002. The chief game of the draw was called 'lotto', which helped a great deal in boosting its popularity. …show more content…
There is an entry fee which is very reasonable priced, the participant has to be 16 years of age or above and for every board one pound is charged from the participant.
Winning the jackpot requires you to have the right combination of 6 drawn digits; the numbers can be anything between 1 and 49. The chance of hitting the jackpot is 1:14,000,000. If nobody wins the jackpot in a particular draw then it is carried over to the next one.
Draws happen twice a week and are telecast live on BBC in UK, which makes the process even more transparent. There are also other number-games in this lottery.
The National Lottery is a truly great venture for participants as well as the country, because it returns the highest share of revenue to the government among all
