Scratch for London!

The London Olympics Committee has announced that their lottery venture to raise funds for the 2012 Olympics has been extremely successful thus far. Since the program’s inception in July 2005, it has raised 297 million dollars geared towards planning the Olympic events of 2012! The lotto's motto, “Scratch for Gold,” is an intended pun as it provides the purchaser of the lotto ticket with the opportunity to win a ‘pot of gold,’ and helps London, according to Lord Coe, Chair of the Olympics Committee, to raise the funds necessary to “deliver a legacy in 2012 and beyond.”

Whether you think lottery is ethical or not, you have to commend the effort!
