This national discrace is one of the uk biggest ripoffs. I can't understand why this behaviour is still happening in 2017. Let's put an end to this travesty and make the UK leaders, in disgracing and ending greedy companies. The UK deserves better we are a educated country that needs to stops this corruption!
Every penny made going to good UK, just causes.
The lottery should be owned and run by the UK supporting good charity and causes with every £ of profit.
Let's put a stop to this madness
