I think it could sort of work. Next time they increase the dole. Do it -£1, and then they have 26 millionaires a year.
take 10% of the winnings as "tax" and drop the cost of the dole by ~ £5million. Increase sales of Subarus, those gold plated apple watches and hot tubs.

Give the hopeless a little bit of hope.

They already willingly contribute a tenner of their dole a week to something called the national lottery.
Much the same thing.

I'm thinking it's for specifically the unemployed and someone will win it every 2 weeks.

I'd imagine some welfare recipients don't do the lottery, dock it at source.

It's not called dole now, but 'universal credit', dunno the difference.
