Who runs the National Lottery and who is the new operator?

Currently National Lottery operator Camelot is set to lose its licence to operate the game after 30 years, with the Gambling Commission announcing plans to transfer it to a rival in March 2022. A fiercely contested bidding process has been under way between four parties to hold the licence, which Camelot has operated since 1994. But officials said Allwyn is now the preferred applicant to take over the venture in February 2024.
