National Lottery Commission
 PROFILE
The National Lottery Commission juggles a lot of balls. The commission regulates the UK's lottery according to the 1993 National Lottery Act. More than 70% of UK households participate in the lottery every week. Half of the lottery's money goes to prizewinners, while the rest is distributed to charitable causes, the UK government, lottery retailers, and lottery operator Camelot Group. The game has raised more than £8 billion for charitable causes since its inception. In 2000 the National Lottery Commission renewed Camelot Group's contract for another seven years following a bitter bidding war between Camelot and The People's Lottery, which was set up by Virgin Group chairman Sir Richard Branson.
