Lotto money

beertons · 2009-04-17 16:30:04

Just bought my lotto for tomorrow. €6, no plus. It's reported that they will sell 1800 tickets per minute between now and 730pm tomorrow. That's alot of lines. How much of that money goes to the government? How much in every Euro. And how much in every Euro goes to the real charities?

About 5% to the shop.
About 40% to the charities.
About 50% in prizes.
The rest (5%) is costs.

Very rough figures, but you get the idea.
