Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, Tessa Jowell, has announced that
the new merged Lottery distributor will be called “the Big Lottery Fund”.
The Big
Lottery Fund will take over the functions of the New Opportunities Fund and the 
Community Fund. It will be responsible for distributing half of all lottery good
cause money.

Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, Tessa Jowell said: “We will call
it the Big Lottery Fund because it will be by far the largest and most visible of
the distributors. It will be a single point of contact involving the public in the
big choices about how to award half of all lottery grants. It will also support 
communities in securing and spending Lottery grants for their benefit.”

Until yesterday we’d spotted that a number of the more obvious domain names for 
this newly named fund hadn’t been bagged. Someone was busy yesterday as two of the
more obvious ones have now been registered.
