Suspend lottery services in shops during coronavirus lock down.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

People can still play online.
People are coming out of their homes and into retail outlets to purchase and check lottery tickets and scratch cards. This is non essential.

We need to do this to stop unnecessary contact during the coronavirus pandemic.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

This would be a choice for individual retailers, not the UK Government or Parliament.

You could start a petition calling for the National Lottery to be suspended during the outbreak, if this is something you would like to see happen.
