In 1993 Tenovus raised 3 million and half of that money came from sales of our own lottery tickets at supermarkets. But our in- c
33、ome has dropped by half since the National Lottery was introduced.Im not against people playing the National Lottery, but they should think about what theyre doing. The chances of winning the jackpot (赌注)are so small; they might as well throw their money away. The Government tells us that the procee
34、ds(收入) are going to things like the arts and sport, but what about the National Health Service? They should give some cash to that, too.

41、ions and on societys definition as to what constitutes maturity and adulthood.
