I think everyone now knows that the Olympic games and Paralympics are coming to London in 2012 and preparations for the games are in full swing. Much of the funding for the 2012 London Olympics are coming from UK National Lottery funding and in all they are expected to be raising a staggering £2.2 billion towards the project.
There’s no doubting that the National Lottery Olympic contribution is by far the National Lottery’s biggest project so far, so how are they going to raise this huge amount of money to help the 2012 Olympians dreams come true?
Well £750 million of the cash is going to be coming from Special games, that is instant wins and scratch cards that are specially designed with the Olympics in mind, it allows you, the lottery player to choose these games when buying instant wins and knowing you are helping the 2012 Olympic dream come true. These games are already on sale so look out for them next time you are buying your National Lottery tickets as the profit from these games is going directly to the 2012 Olympic fund.
It’s an exiting project and National Lottery funding will create five brand new sports facilities for the games, each funded by the National Lottery, these will include a large aquatics centre, the huge and main Olympic stadium, a brand new Velopark, plus a hockey centre and handball arena for the 2012 London Olympic games.
So keep buiying those National Lottery tickets and know that you are doing your bit to help our Olympians excel like they did in Beijing.
