I don't play it for a number of reasons but that's not the point. The point was the Lottery could have been run as a non-profit operation ..

Wow, do you always insult people when they have an opinion contrary to your own?
My point was that you were (seemingly) mixing percentages and whole numbers in a way that made the profit made by Camelot disproportionate - if you had used percentages or whole numbers, your post might not have been so loaded....

Or to put it another way -
Camelot made a profit of £76 million on an income of over £750 million, with £1,175 million going to good causes, and £3,524 million going to Lottery winners - not quite as emotive, is it?
