A one-off National Lottery draw will create 100 millionaires as
a 'thank you' to players for helping fund the London Olympics.
The EuroMillions Millionaire Raffle draw will take place on the
night of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games on July 27, a
National Lottery spokesman said.
The event guarantees a million-pound cheque for 100 UK players,
breaking the world record for the most millionaires created in a
single draw.
National Lottery players are contributing £2.2billion towards
the staging of the London 2012 Games, including venues and
infrastructure.
The spokesman said: 'The opening ceremony will be a huge night
for Britain and this amazing draw is set to add to that
excitement, making it truly a night to remember.
'We will see 100 UK players become millionaires as the torch is
lit above London, smashing the world record for the most
millionaires created in one night.
'National Lottery players are playing a key role in the London
2012 Games, helping fund both the infrastructure and venues, and
provide life-changing support to athletes.
National Lottery millionaires look forward to welcoming 100 new
members into their exclusive club on July 27

'This special one-off draw celebrates their role in helping
bring the Games to London.'
The previous record for million-pound winners in a single draw
was set after 25 players won in the EuroMillions Millionaire
Raffle draw on Christmas Eve in 2010.
The biggest ever British jackpot was claimed by Colin and Chris
Weir from Largs, Ayrshire, who banked £161million last July from
their £2 ticket.
There have now been 22 UK winners since the nine-country
European draw was launched in 2004.

When did this forum become a place to copy-paste "news"?

Winni83: I think its fine if people want to just copy paste
news. Since news can be relevant to the topic no?
My take on the EuroMillions:
It's just yet another Olympics rip off!! Isn't this again just
another gimmick using the Olympics hype to get people to buy
more tickets in the hopes of being one of the many potential
millionaires?
That being said, i still acknowledge the philanthropic efforts
of the Lottery org i guess.
BTW, anyone knows if this is just applicable to the UK?
