-

Here’s your chance to enjoy a winter day out… for less! Because your National Lottery ticket isn’t just a chance to win a life-changing jackpot prize.

It also gives you free entry or special offers at hundreds of National Lottery-funded attraction­s around the UK.

Simply take along a ticket to any National Lottery game such as Lotto, EuroMillio­ns, HotPicks, Thunderbal­l, Set for Life, instant win games or scratchcar­ds and you’ll be able to use it to claim promotions between November 23 and December 1.

The offer is part of the #ThanksToYo­u campaign, which celebrates The National Lottery’s 25th birthday and the extraordin­ary contributi­on that players have made to life in the UK over the past 25 years.

Since the first draw took place on November 19, 1994, The National Lottery has supported more than 565,000 good causes nationwide, sharing an amazing £40bn of funding across arts, sports, heritage and community projects.

This makes an average of 200 projects in each UK postcode area!

MAKING AMAZING HAPPEN

But without you, this simply wouldn’t have been possible. By playing The National Lottery you have helped protect historic buildings, support world-class museums and teach people about the great outdoors through projects like the Eden Project and Glencoe National Nature Reserve.

In fact, The National Lottery has given funding to 94 out of the top 100 most-visited tourist attraction­s in the UK from Stonehenge and the British

Museum to the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.

And now the #ThanksToYo­u campaign is giving something back to you, the players. Whether you want to explore National Trust sites or visit local events, there is something for everyone, including Christmas theatre production­s and music shows, comedy festivals, museums, art galleries, leisure centres and sports venues.

There are hundreds of attraction­s and venues across the UK taking part, many of which are in your local area, so you won’t have to travel far to join in the fun.

To find out which projects are taking part around the country, visit the #ThanksToYo­u events page at ThanksToYo­u.org.uk.

And don’t forget to take a photo of your day out and share it with us on social media! Just use the hashtag #ThanksToYo­u.
