英国《每日邮报》7月27日报道,卡米洛特公司宣布,一旦总额为6515896英镑的奖金到位后,超过1100万张售价为1英镑的刮刮卡彩票就将上市。彩票的中奖比例为4.93:1,奖级共分为11等,均以现金支付,其中最高奖金为2012英镑。
还有7年时间,奥运会就将在1948年后重返伦敦。为此,伦敦计划投资23.75亿英镑用于新建各类场馆,同时还将投入15亿英镑作为其运营费用。英国计划通过发行国家彩票和推出一系列电视节目来为奥运筹集15亿英镑。而刮刮卡和其他形式彩票的'筹资金额预计可达7.5亿英镑。
卡米洛特公司表示,要想完成这一计划,从2005—06财年和2012—13财年内的彩票销售额必须超过26.5亿英镑。该公司还计划在2006年推出一种以抽签方式决定中奖者的彩票,一种围绕如2008年北京奥运会等特定场合赛事竞猜的一次性彩票,以及一系列刮刮卡和其它互动型即开式彩票。但上述计划能否付诸实施还有待于英国国家彩票委员会和国际奥委会的批准。
