Camelot proposes World Lottery

Camelot has unveiled plans for a World Lottery Draw as part of its bid for the United Kingdom's third National Lottery licence, which was submitted to the National Lottery Commission on February 9. The draw is expected to involve scores of lotteries from around the globe, from the Americas in the west, to Australasia in the east – as well as a host of lotteries from across Europe. Camelot has already received expressions of interest from lotteries in 48 states and countries around the world – and is in ongoing negotiations with individual and multi-jurisdiction lotteries. Camelot says it met with potential partners in November 2006 at the World Lottery Association Conference in Singapore, and will be meeting with those parties again later this year.
