As the licensed operator of the UK National Lottery,
Camelots prime business objective is to maximise returns to the Good
Causes in the most efficient and socially responsible way. While Camelot is
committed to raising money for the Good Causes designated by Parliament through
the sale of National Lottery games, it is not responsible for distributing or
awarding these funds. Camelot manages the National
Lottery infrastructure, designs new games, develops the marketing support
for lottery products, provides services for players and winners, and runs the
network that sells tickets to players in partnership with 26,000 retailers
UK-wide.
In May 1994 Camelot was awarded a seven-year licence
to run The National Lottery and on 14 November 1994, the first draw-based
tickets went on sale. Over the seven years of the first licence Camelot raised
£10.6 billion for the Good Causes, £1.6 billion more than
originally promised. In December 2000, Camelot was awarded the second
seven-year licence to run The National Lottery, which commenced on 27 January
2002.
