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?

You are (seemingly) missing the point that Richard Branson offered to run the scheme as a non-profit.
