The National Lottery is the United Kingdom's state lottery. It is operated by the Camelot Group, who were awarded the franchise in 1993 and had it renewed in 2002. Several games operate under the National Lottery brand, including Lotto draws on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
The National Lottery has so far raised several billions of pounds for Good Causes, a programme which distributes money via grants. 28% of lottery revenue goes towards the fund, along with all unclaimed prizes. Additionally, 12% goes to the state. The prize fund is 45% of revenue.
