The National Health Service Lottery was a failed lottery scheme designed to provide funding for the National Health Service in the United Kingdom.〔Edwina Currie speaking on the National Health Service Lottery, HC Deb 28 July 1988 vol 138 cc744-56 744 745 5.28 am, (Hansard )〕 The scheme progressed as far as a trial in May 1988, but the draw was cancelled at the last minute on legal grounds, and the 43,000 people who took part had their money refunded.〔 ==Background== The lottery, which was a national equivalent of earlier localised lotteries in support of hospital services, had a jackpot of £200,000, and even progressed as far as the issuing of tickets and a prize draw in May 1988.〔 The scheme was approved by Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in April 1988, and it was estimated that a single draw could have raised up to £500,000 for the Health Service.〔Peter Sharp (journalist), report on ITN (News at Ten ), May 1988〕
