英国国家彩票运营商科莱特集团连日来动作不断，先是与新上市的“健康彩票”就关于公益金与收益的问题打嘴仗；而后与美国加州政府接触，欲接管其销售和市场部门。不久前，该集团将目光转向爱尔兰彩票市场，欲拍下该国彩票销售管理许可证。有趣的是，“健康彩票”的发行者，英国传媒大亨理查德·德斯蒙德（Richard Desmond）可能成为该集团的竞争对手。

　　讽刺国彩公益金滥用

　　“健康彩票”自2011年9月底上市以来，社会各界的反对声音此起彼伏。国家彩票运营商科莱特集团市场份额因此缩水，该集团拿“公益金低”说事，批判“健康彩票”发行不合理。前不久，理查德·德斯蒙德接受媒体访问，对此前公益金过低问题做出回应。

　　“我们是否对穷人的税款牟利呢？”对于科莱特集团声称“健康彩票”公益金比例低，“健康彩票”发行者，英国传媒大亨理查德·德斯蒙德这样回应道：“我们每英镑有20.34便士用于慈善事业，而国家彩票呢，每英镑有28便士用于慈善事业——这其中包括6便士用于奥运会、6便士用于文化事业，噢对了，还要算上皇家剧院一份。我也很喜欢摇滚乐，我可以去参加音乐活动，但是我不想这其中富有纳税人的钱。”

　　在访问过程中，理查德·德斯蒙德在谈及关于慈善机构与“健康彩票”筹集善款的事项时说：“过于透明地谈论这个话题比较危险。”

　　竞争对手强大

　　据当地媒体报道，与科莱特集团竞争该国彩票经营牌照的潜在对手，可能包括乐透马蒂克公司（Lottomatica，世界上最大的彩票发行商之一，独家发行意大利乐透游戏。同时它还拥有全球最大的电脑彩票运营商Gtech的股权）和英国“健康彩票”的发行者理查德·德斯蒙德。

　　“科莱特集团一直在寻求与各国政府间的合作，力求在全球各地实现彩票业务的经济增长。”该集团发言人称，“在与爱尔兰政府接触初期，该国政府只是宣布了彩票许可证的竞标消息，因此在我们得到更多消息细节和做出具体计划前，暂不发表评论和声明。”

　　为医院“卖”彩票

　　“许可证有效期有可能是25年，目前，关于竞标彩票销售管理的计划正在探索中。”一名政府发言人说。据了解，爱尔兰国家政府寄希望于出售乐透的许可证，可以为新成立的国家儿童医院（National Children's Hospital）筹资，为明年的财政预算“分担忧愁”。

　　据了解，去年爱尔兰国家彩票销售额为7.72亿欧元，其中4.19亿欧元用于奖金派发，2.43亿欧元用于慈善事业，盈余1.08亿欧元。
