It’s also a really exciting time to be here as we’re constantly thinking of new ways to innovate and work together to make a bigger impact.

The National Lottery has already paid out over £92 billion in prize money and created over 7,000 new millionaires or multi-millionaires since its launch in 1994, including more than a millionaire a day on average last year. Marketing investment over the coming months will showcase how the games differ from each other. Allwyn will gradually introduce changes over the course of the next few years that will strengthen the bond between The National Lottery and consumers, with many more people playing a little, which will lead to more money raised for National Lottery-funded projects. During this time, it has made a huge difference to life in the UK – not just for the millions of prize-winners, but in generating over £48 billion that has been invested in almost 700,000 community, sport, arts and heritage projects.
