Richard Desmond is suing the Gambling Commission for £1.3 billion in damages over the National Lottery license award. Desmond's New Lottery Company claims it was unfairly denied a chance to bid for the UK's fourth National Lottery license, which was awarded to Allwyn in March 2022. The legal battle is expected to last seven weeks, and a taxpayer bill could arise if Desmond's company wins the High Court case.
