Rejected petition Take back the lottery into a UK company
Rejected on
It is now run by a Canadian Pension fund for teachers which I feel is benefiting them not us.
The amount of roll overs, lack of sense in payout structure and numerous lotto now available is ridiculous.
We are supposed to be a country that cares for it's citizens but this is gambling and is run by a company with no care how much it takes off us.
The payouts even for 5 numbers are low and in the scheme of things wrong.
How do we know they are not cheating us by knowing what numbers haven't been picked already?
I would like it looked into and brought back within the UK, in fact returned to how it was when started, it needs simplifying.
