[Play Monday](http://www.playmonday.com), the lottery launched in May 2006 by Chariot(
UK) plc with the aim of raising up to £150 million each year for its registered 
charity partners closed for business yesterday. It was rescued in June 2007 by NetPlay
TV after falling sales, but despite investing £200,000 in marketing, the new owner
could not make it work effectively.

 

The lottery raised over £2 million for charities, and a further £200,000 after it
was taken over by NetPlay TV.

The failure of this charity-focused lottery is a sad day for the sector, not least
because there is no sign of anyone planning to set up anything similar.
