According to the BBC, Northern and Shell media company which owns Express Newspapers and Channel 5 News, is setting up a "Health Lottery" where 20.34p in every £1 will be given to health-related charities.

The UK's National Lottery (which gives 28p in every £1 to charity) gives to "good causes" defined by the government, including health, sports, and arts charities among others.

Should the new Health Lottery be matching the National Lottery's 28p per £1? Does it not matter because 20.34p per £1 from a lottery focusing on health causes is better than nothing? Are health causes better use of lottery donations than sports and arts causes?

The lottery is launched by someone who has launched pornogrpahy websites and is clearly commercially rather than altrusictically minded. I wouldn't buy a ticket and of course he should give 28p- which still seems a small amount.

I played last Saturdays Health Lottery www.healthlottery.co.uk/lottery/results/lottery-results/ draw online & also came across plenty of websites from charities like Hospice, who were worried people would contribute to less their causes once those lottery players had engaged with the flamboyantly launched Health Lottery. I would argue that people are playing to win money to make their own dreams come true. But I also think it is a great cause & any money raised for the NHS is beneficial, just as long as the government doesn't rely too much on THL & Nation Lottery in the long-run.

Yes, that is certainly one possibility. The others include Anonymous alcoholics, gambling psychiatric victims, smokers, card players, bars etc....

My sailing club gets money from such which goes to Junior Sailing and Sailability which is for people with serious disabilities eg strokes, paraplegia, cerebral palsy.

Last week the club voted to allow entry for those that write boring stuff on doc2doc ie those with an original thought neurone undergoing apoptosis. It is hoped that capsizing and being forced to sail in three dimensions may stimulate neuronal regeneration.

For that you need a certain amont of functional neurons. It will not work with the occasional bineuronal disease, you know one neuron per hemisphere, when one of the two is experiencing shortcuts...In order to establish that situation you need to collect urine for 24 hours and look for traces of IQ. in it...
