 NEWS FROM THE STANDARD
Gates, Branson Want U.K. Lottery
Feb 07 2000 12:00 AM PST

 PROFILE
This Camelot has no roundtable, but it does have numbered balls that bring a royal sum. Camelot Group runs the UK's National Lottery (the world's largest lottery), which offers players big jackpots in its numbers games and a variety of instant-win games. Camelot returns about 30% of sales to the Good Causes fund, which distributes the money to museums, historic restorations, and charities. It keeps about 0.5% of lottery sales as profits. The National Lottery Commission accepted the firm's bid to continue running the lottery for another seven years in 2000. Soft drink maker Cadbury Schweppes, security printer De La Rue, high-tech products company Thales, International Computers, and the UK Post Office each own 20% of Camelot.
