Do you play the UK National Lottery?
I like the UK lottery and all the money it raises for good causes. Lottery revenue is also funding the 2012 Olympics, both venues and athletes. I play the UK lottery my subscription and I pay by monthly direct debit. It is very convenient, as I don't have to pay for the whole year upfront; and any prizes are also automatically credited to by bank account. If you would like to help raise money for good causes, why not have a little fun along the way. And you never know, it could be you!
