THE National Lottery
today reminded people in Inishowen to get their

club, community project or organisation for the
inaugural National Lottery Good Causes Awards. The
deadline for entries for this competition, which has
a total prize pool of €95,000, is less than two
weeks away, on Friday 13th July.
This significant new awards initiative will

Almost 30 cent in every
€1 spent on National Lottery games – or over
€619,000 per day – goes back to good causes all over
the country in the areas of Sports, Arts, Culture,
Heritage, Community, Health, Youth and the Irish
Language. Last year alone more than €226 million was
raised by players of National Lottery games for such
good causes.
Applications for the awards are now open and people
can enter and check eligibility at
