Not a good score for ham :)

But it isn't... maybe 2 rules need amending so they don't hit genuine
UK national lottery ham.


or maybe you just lower the score for your setup.

and rethink

required=4.5

or:
if you provide a few dozen samples of these hammy msgs , they can be
included in the SA ham corpus
or:
you can directly contribute to rescoring by running a masscheck instance
as per:

I'll just add that I can also confirm HK_LOTTO and HK_LOTTO_NAME (currently scoring 3.599 and 0.998) regularly hit UK National Lottery emails as well as UK Health Lottery emails.

I previously contacted Emailvision who is the ESP for the UK Health Lottery to advise them their emails were scoring very heavily in SA and recommend they maybe pre-screen outgoing emails with SA before sending (they were being flagged as spam at default scores).

I've been working around the high scoring HK_LOTTO rules by whitelisting with SPF. Here is what I have for the UK Health Lottery:

whitelist_from_spf      *@healthlottery.co.uk
whitelist_from_spf      *@*.healthlottery.co.uk
whitelist_from_spf      *@health-lot.cccampaigns.com

I haven't seen high/abusive levels of mail from these domains so consider whitelisting safe practice.
