You are right, he was in a right pickle when he lost the vote in 2000. He said at the time: "It goes without saying we are all extremely disappointed and sad by the decision. Having said that we congratulate Camelot in a good fight and for being able to turn around the decision where four out of five judges had voted for the People's Lottery only two-and-a-half months ago. One new judge turns up and somehow manages to switch a number of them around"
I suspect that after waiting nearly 20 years, he may have lost his enthusiasm.

I was honestly not trying to slant anything emotively or otherwise. I included the profit number because I believe they should not be making *any* and I listed the percentage because I think it should be a higher proportion i.e. no Government Taxes.
