Press Release Summary: The U.K. National Lottery provides social benefits that many people are probably unaware, and probably should be made aware of, said the operator of a web site affiliate to the lottery. Using Affiliate Web Sites to Play Still Contributes to These Good Causes
Press Release Body: U.K.,January,25,2008 -- The U.K. National Lottery provides social benefits that many people are probably unaware, and probably should be made aware of, said the operator of a web site affiliate to the lottery. The operator of http://www.national-lottery.cc indicates that the U.K. Lottery supports a far greater number of good causes than most people realize. In fact, the National Lottery diverts 28 pence per each pound it brings in to the Government Department for Culture, Media and Sports (DCMS).
Fourteen separate organizations actually determine how that money is spent, focusing on community needs in art, heritage, sport, and more. One of these organizations manages the Active Communities Development Fund, which has as its goal to raise the standard of living among low-income communities. During the Manchester Commonwealth Games, the Sport England Lottery Fund donated 112 million pounds to develop new sporting facilities. Other examples of how this money is put to use include the restoration of the 609 ft. Yarmouth Pier, and a short film called Forgotten Souls made in Scotland and Poland about a Holocaust survivor unable to forget the past. The short film was exhibited at the 60th Cannes Film Festival.
Players who play the U.K. National Lottery are contributing to these good causes, even if they play the lottery via an affiliate site, such as http://www.national-lottery.cc. U.K. lottery players may not realize that a large portion of the money they spend on the lottery is going towards these varied causes. This may be especially true of those who buy their lottery numbers via affiliate web sites.
"It's important that people are aware they can buy their lottery tickets anywhere, and a portion of their money still goes to these great causes," said Sveinn Johannsson, owner of the U.K. National Lottery affiliate web site www.national-lottery.cc and an affiliate web site for the Euro Millions lottery, http://www.euro-millions.cc. "It's a great feeling to take part in generating money that goes towards such a diverse range of causes, too. It's what makes the National Lottery so great. It's not just about possibly winning millions, but also giving something back to the community."
