Lottery Funders (Distributors)

The distribution of money to Lottery Good Causes is handled by organisations that are collectivly known as Lottery Funders.

The 28 % of Lottery money that is to be distributed to good causes 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 for good causes is as follows:

50% to The Big Lottery Fund (Charities, Health, Education & the environment)

16.67% to Sports

16.67% to Arts

16.67% to Heritage

These figures are the average breakdown based on the 2 nd lottery licence from January 2002 to January 2009. Camelot won the 1st, 2nd and 3rd lottery licences and will now run the lottery until at least 2019.

Camelot's profit is betwen 0.3% and 0.5% but is currently linked to performance and determined by how much is raised for Lottery Good Causes.

This performance related profit incentive was introduced by the regulator The National Lottery Commission
