UK Sports, responsible for funding British Athletes, covered almost half (80 million pounds) of the money from the lottery.
The UK is not the only one funding Olympics budgets from Lottery Tickets. Ireland, Sweden, the Netherlands, Germany, Spain and Denmark are in the same league where Govt has allowed Lottery Operators to bring lottery tickets to benefits local sports organizations. So, even lottery tickets can be used to benefit nation.
Why our govt do not fund sports this way?
