l for one have never bought a lottery ticket and have no intention of doing so.
The good causes clause was just written in to Camelots bid to run the lottery to ensure success in winning the contract.
We have a choice, if we don't like the daft things they give the money to don't buy a ticket.

We read of convicted rapists, drug dealers and young kids winning and we all want a share. To me the lottery is just a tax on the dissatisfied. How many of us have won a significant amount?

It's a game not a tax, we can choose not to fund any more stupid 'good causes.'
