UK Lottery to create 100 millionaires in special Olympic drawing

[Hum]

A one-off National Lottery draw will create 100 millionaires as a 'thank you' to players for helping fund the London Olympics.

The EuroMillions Millionaire Raffle draw will take place on the night of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games on July 27, a National Lottery spokesman said.

The event guarantees a million-pound check for 100 UK players, breaking the world record for the most millionaires created in a single draw.

National Lottery players are contributing a whopping ?2.2 billion towards the staging of the London 2012 Games, including venues and infrastructure.

The spokesman said: 'The opening ceremony will be a huge night for Britain and this amazing draw is set to add to that excitement, making it truly a night to remember.

'We will see 100 UK players become millionaires as the torch is lit above London, smashing the world record for the most millionaires created in one night.

How are they guaranteeing 100 people to win? What if everyone picks the wrong numbers?

Does this show that the lottery is rigged after all ? :p

You still do. Entry into the Millionaires raffle is "free" with entry into the euromillions. Just pick your euromillions numbers and you get a unique code for the raffle on the ticket.
