Sounds interesting, though I hope it wouldn't dent existing lottery/charity revenue.

This is a slippery slope. Can't be directing gambling revenue to for-profit businesses / causes. Perhaps there should be a lottery for some of the more urgent needs relating to the social fabric of the province, but I'd doubt the Wild Rose would go for that.
