The launch of the United Kingdom's National Lottery at the end of 1994, was one of the most significant developments in both the funding of Britain's cultural sector and the British gambling sector since 1946. Thus in the 1995 financial year National Lottery ticket sales exceeded pound 5 billion of which 28% went to five specified "good causes." This paper presents an overview of the National Lottery's launch and growth to date using published material and data. The lottery's establishment and regulatory regime are discussed, together with its impact in terms of both economic activity and the wider betting and gaming market within the UK. The National Lottery is then considered within the broader international context, and the incoming Labour Government's restructuring plans aimed at creating a "People's Lottery" are discussed. Thus the paper provides an overview of the development of a major new national institution.
1994年底英国国家彩票的推出，是自1946年以来英国文化部门和博彩部门资金筹措方面最重要的发展之一。因此，在1995财政年度，国家彩票销售额超过50亿英镑，其中28%流向了五个特定的“公益事业”。本文利用已发表的材料和数据，概述了国家彩票自推出以来的发展历程。文中讨论了彩票的设立和监管制度，以及它在经济活动和英国更广泛的博彩市场方面的影响。接着在更广泛的国际背景下审视国家彩票，并讨论即将上任的工党政府旨在创建“人民彩票”的重组计划。因此，本文概述了一个重要的新国家机构的发展情况。
