PlayFrom every £1 spent on UK National Lottery games, such as EuroMillions, Lotto and Thunderball, 28p is ring-fenced to help finance charities and life-changing projects across the country. The National Lottery Distribution Fund, which holds the cash that will be distributed to these good causes, was paid £451.7 million from ticket sales between April and June 2015, three percent more than in the same period last year.
Increased revenue from EuroMillions was cited by the Gambling Commission as a key reason behind the rise in the underlying weekly rate during the time period, although contributions from Lotto also topped up last year’s total.
More than 450,000 projects across the country have benefited from lottery funding since 1994, with £34 million raised every week to support various initiatives. Good causes helped by lottery funding range from The Daisy Chain Stitchers, a group in Wigan that brings together all generations to enjoy a shared love of craft, to the 2012 London Olympics! Find out more about the worthy causes supported when you play EuroMillions in the UK at the Good Causes page.
