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).
