It’s now recognized not just for its exciting prize draws, but also for its significant charitable impact. To date, the lottery has contributed more than £1.1 billion in funding, helping thousands of organizations and projects thrive. These range from local community initiatives to global aid programs, meaning ticket holders are supporting meaningful causes every time they play.
For the winners in Belthorn, the £1,000 prize is a nice bonus, but there’s also pride in knowing that their participation directly supports charities that make a real difference.
