Derry Girls star Jamie-Lee O’Donnell has taken on a cheeky new role as skipper of the SS Nomadic as part of The National Lottery’s 25th Birthday celebrations.
The local actor took the helm of the historic tender ship to the Titanic as part of the #ThanksToYou campaign which will see hundreds of National Lottery-funded venues offering free entry or exclusive offers to visitors with a National Lottery ticket. The offer will run from 23 November - 1 December.
She appears in a tongue-in-cheek film telling viewers she has ‘bought’ the boat with her acting earnings and gives her own unique guide to its history.
If you’ve ever wondered where the money raised from selling National Lottery tickets goes, then National Lottery Good Causes has the answer.
Since 1994, National Lottery players have raised a staggering £40 billion for Good Causes across the UK (that’s £30 million a week), and here on our RU-vid page you can read about and see photos and videos of just some of the projects, groups and individuals who’ve benefited from National Lottery funding.
With money being distributed to deserving causes across the arts, sport, heritage, charity/voluntary sector, health, education and the environment, there’s some really diverse stuff available to view here.
