It’s a well known fact that a huge chunk of Euromillions profits goes towards good causes up and down the country making a difference to communities and organisations across the UK.
With the 2012 Olympics looming it’s interesting to know that a great deal of the cash raised will be coming from lottery and euromillions funds and Camelot (the organisation that runs the Lottery and Euromillions within the UK) say they are well on course to raise the amount promised for the London 2012 Olympics.
In total £750 million of money from the designated lottery games will be donated to the fund for the London 2012 games. In addition to cash raised through the National Lottery and Euromillions, Camelot have also designed scratch cards specifically to raise cash for the 2012 games. It’s a great idea and by purchasing these cards you know exactly where your money is going and you know you are helping to give us the best Olympic games the world has ever seen.
This of course doesn’t even come close to the £3 Billion already donated to the sports sector by the National Lottery and Euromillions since their launch, improving local clubs and local facilities making Britains athletes of the future improve by investment.
So next time you purchase your Euromillions ticket you can do so knowing that you are helping yet another worthy cause within the UK.
