I have very strong (autocorrect said strange - that's also true ) views on gambling but - hands up - I take part in the lottery for Tinnitus UK.
Why? It seems like a pain free way of making a very small regular donation with a miniscule chance of getting something back. I don't think I've ever won anything.
I'm certain that if asked to drop the same amount just for a donation I wouldn't do it.
(I think that the minimum amount for their lottery has increased significantly since I joined it years ago)
I'd love to know how much is creamed off by the organisation that runs these lotteries but it's impossible to find out.
