Camelot
Camelot are the operators of the Lottery in the UK.
They have won all three lottery licences for the UK including the current 10 year licence that started on
1 February 2009.
Although Camelot raises money for Good Causes through the sales of its products, Camelot does not control its distribution.
Approximately 28 % of Lottery money is distributed to good causes and is initially paid into the National Lottery Distribution Fund and held by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.
Interest generated on the lottery money held in the fund and whilst it is waiting to be distributed is also paid to good causes.
The distribution of money to Lottery Good Causes is handled by organisations that are collectively known as Lottery Funders.
Camelot is a private company owned equally by five shareholders: Cadbury Holdings Ltd., De La Rue Holdings plc, Fujitsu Services Ltd, Royal Mail Enterprises Ltd and Thales Electronics plc.
