Ah - right. Spending 2 quid to get 50p back is classified as a win. No

No as I don't mind giving money to charity either. I really don't expect
to win either, I donlt expect to win when I donate £10 a month to the
RSPCA or oither charities I give to.


But most of the time you are not giving that much money to charities.
They employ third parties to raise money and most is never seen by the
charities. It is spent paying the chuggers, on endless snail mail
begging letters, TV adverts requesting ONLY £3 for a cuddly toy or a
letter written by a dog in an animal refuge, paying large salaries to
the CEO if these third party companies etc.

If you gambled on the National Lottery more money would go to good
causes than to the parasites associated with the charity money making
machine.
