Merry Christmas Everyone
Just imagine a win this Christmas
Get ready to watch our new Christmas TV ad, a heartwarming festive tale made by Oscar-winning director Tom Hooper (The King’s Speech).
Our National Lottery love story is the centrepiece of a campaign inviting the nation to come together this Christmas. It begins with a chance meeting between 2 strangers travelling by train to spend Christmas with their families.
When the train reaches the woman’s destination, the man scribbles his phone number on the back of a National Lottery ticket. The scene seems set for Christmas romance until she realises the number is smudged. Can our heroes reconnect or will true love run off the rails? Watch the ad to find out.
The TV ad was made by Tom Hooper, the Oscar-winning director of The King’s Speech and Les Misérables. In a sense, it brings Tom and The National Lottery full circle as The King’s Speech – the film that earned him the best director Oscar in 2011 – was made with the support of National Lottery funding.
