I agree, and also all the charity lotteries.

"the Health Lottery - a grouping of 51 charity lotteries, known also as 'society' lotteries - gives only the minimum legal requirement of 20 per cent of takings to charity, whereas the National Lottery gives 28 per cent to good causes. "

Many charity lotteries are run by 'external lottery managers' and from the above it appears that many 'external lottery managers' might be keeping nearly 80% of the income (the prizes on charity lotteries are pretty derisory with the headline £25k prize being a "superdraw" four times a year).

It's the same with most charities. They outsource a lot of fund raising
to third parties who may only return a few percent of the money raised
to the charity. I doubt if of little the money raised by street
chuggers, cold calling doorstep saleman or tin rattlers outside of
supermarkets/sheds goes to the charities they claim to represent.
