Lottery funds ‘pilfered’ by Government

THE National Lottery jackpot this weekend will be another bumper prize. We have been told for years the benefit of the lottery wasn’t for the millionaires it created but the good causes it supported.

These were areas that were in need of funding but could not always rely on central government. Fair enough, one might say.

However, lottery players should be aware this deal is no longer honoured by the Government and that good causes such as youth sport and the arts are now been subjected to massive cuts.
