National Lottery Day is designed to thank those who have played the Lottery and 
raised £17 billion for good causes, and recognise those who have achieved so much
with Lottery funding in their local communities.
Today hundreds of organisations
and projects across the UK will be opening their doors and holding special events
to show people where their National Lottery money has been spent.

Over 350 events are taking place, some at well known venues as well as volunteer
and community groups using the day to raise awareness of their hard work and effort.
The organisers hope that this will help the public learn more about where their 
Lottery money has gone, and raise awareness of all the achievements made possible
by Lottery funding.
