Monday lottery company faces further fall in ticket sales

Online charity lottery company Chariot is facing further problems after another drop in ticket sales. Third Sector reports that ticket sales fell 13.5% in the week before last week's draw.

Sense, St John Ambulance, Whizz-Kidz, the National Autistic Society, and the Big Issue Foundation share £122,940 from the latest draw. The beneficiary charities at the bottom of the list are going to be hoping that Chariot can cling on for the whole of its first year.

Chariot's share price has dropped from 213p on 25 April to 38p on 26 May 2006.
