Pointing the finger at lottery losers

Article Abstract:

The UK National Lottery was begun in Nov 1994 and has raised some 100 million pounds sterling on average each week since then. Companies which have benefited include shareholders in Camelot, which runs the lottery, and suppliers of lottery equipment. Other companies involved in the UK gambling industry have seen a reduction in sales. More jobs are likely to be lost, according to a forecast from the Henley Centre. The UK gambling industry is seeking looser regulations in order to be able to compete.
