National Lottery

Last Friday, it was great to visit The National Lottery, whose headquarters are here in South West Hertfordshire. The National Lottery hires over one thousand people in South West Hertfordshire, significantly contributing to the local economy, and it was fantastic to meet many of them on my visit.

Tickets for The National Lottery are sold in over forty-four thousand stores across the UK, and it was great to see how the design team are changing the experience of purchasing lottery tickets in stores, making the process more interactive and sustainable.

Gagan particularly enjoyed visiting the winner’s lounge, where he got to see how The National Lottery has not only transformed people’s lives but also helped community projects across the UK.
