You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The disbursement of income by the National Lottery is a matter for the operator of the National Lottery, currently the Camelot Group, not the Government or Parliament.
You could start a new petition calling on the UK Government to distribute funds equal to the National Lottery jackpots equally across the population.
The operator of the National Lottery does have to comply with legislation governing national lotteries, so you could also start a new petition calling on the Government to change this to require the proceeds of national lotteries to be distributed equally to the public. If this were to happen it is unlikely people would continue to buy lottery tickets and it is likely there would therefore be no proceeds to distribute.
