National Lottery firm Camelot hit with £3m penalty
Camelot apologised, saying it was a one-off and had nothing to do with the National Lottery's integrity. The commission estimated that about £2.5m of lottery funding would have gone to good causes had the prize not been paid. "Commission chief executive Sarah Harrison said"The Gambling Commission's chief concern is to ensure the National Lottery is run with integrity and that player interests are protected. Since its launch in 1994, the National Lottery has raised more than £36bn for good causes including sports, community and heritage projects across Britain. During the financial year 2015-2016, more than £4bn in prizes was successfully paid out to players of the lottery.
