Your National Lottery ticket could get you free entry and discounts to UK attractions
The offer is running next week
If you have a lottery ticket that’s failed to bring in the goods - don’t throw it away just yet.
The National Lottery is giving anyone with a lottery ticket (or scratchcard) free entry and discounts for over 500 UK attractions.
The limited edition promotion marks the National Lottery’s 25th anniversary.
Free entry and discounts will be available next week - from 23 November until 1 December.
All of the participating attractions have received funding from the National Lottery - so the week-long promotion has been designed to give something back to the people who have contributed, over the years.
Some of the London offers include discounted exhibition tickets to the National Gallery, discounts tickets at the Old Vic and two-for-one entry to Kensington Palace.
Free entry to a number of the city's museums will also be up for grabs, with venues such as the London Transport Museum and Charles Dickens Museum taking part.
