It is estimated that this organisation is claiming 50p from every £1 in expenses, donating the bare minimum required by law of 20% towards health causes whilst removing funds from the National Lottery. The government needs to implement legislation that prevents organisations from creating a lottery that can compete with the National Lottery. The Health Lottery have also launched other gambling ventures such as a for-profit bingo website which uses similar branding to the Health Lottery. There needs to be a limit on the amount of expenses claimed by a managing body of society lotteries along with the amount of society lotteries managed by one body.  A full review is required of the lottery industry to ensure it serves its purpose of raising funds for charity and not profits.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":1,"created_at":"2014-04-17T14:30:19.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:29:54.999Z","rejected_at":"2017-06-21T12:44:07.712Z","opened_at":"2014-04-22T08:53:17.000Z","closed_at":"2015-04-22T08:53:17.000Z","moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2014-04-17T14:30:19.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"This petition has been closed at the petitioners request"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
