The UK National Lottery has been running for many years.
Recently they have reported an increase in the numbers of people playing across the network of lottery based games.
It is interesting that in times of financial uncertainty throughout history increases in lottery, betting and gambling can be seen.
On their site they have a section that demonstrates some of the good causes that the lottery proceeds help with.
The video displays a children's therapy centre in Cardiff receiving a nice amount from funds from The National Lottery fund.
We also found a nice page with a history of UK Scratch Cards from the National Lottery. Their Online Scratch Cards history display page contains images of the different types of cards or scratch off's dating from 1995 when the first National Lottery Scratch Cards were printed.
