Could a national lottery fund Cayman’s future Olympians?
Increased sports funding from a lottery in the Cayman Islands could be a ‘perfect’ way to help more of the nation’s athletes achieve lasting international success, according to past and present local Olympians.
A three-pronged referendum on topics including whether to start a government-run national lottery will be put to voters heading to the polls in the general election on 30 April.
Revealing the move last year, Tourism Minister Kenneth Bryan said, in addition to helping quell interest in illegal gambling, the opportunity to increase revenues to invest in sport was among the “most compelling arguments” in support of Cayman creating a national lottery.
