Re: Lottery Winnings
Seeing the Government make 12%in the pound already, if 39 million tickets are sold then £4,680,000 is going in to their coffers already.
Camelot will make £195,000 on the same amount of tickets. Not bad really.
Personally I disagree with taxing winnings, seeing the return to the winners is only 50% of the investment.
Taxing would make it even less attractive to those who play it.
