New magazine for Lotto 'winners'

The free magazine launches on Saturday

A free magazine is being launched in Scotland to showcase the "good causes" helped by the National Lottery.

The publishers of Big Times said it would contain "inspirational stories" from some of the people who have benefited from funding.

Volunteers will hand out the first edition of the magazine in Glasgow's St Enoch Centre on Saturday.

Among them will be representatives from funded projects, Gorbals Recycles and Castlemilk Stress Centre.

The Big Lottery Fund's Scotland director, Dharmendra Kanani, said: "Today is the day that we pay tribute and say thank you to the people who have made all of this possible - the people who buy the tickets.

"Every time someone buys a lottery ticket hoping to change their life, they are actually changing the lives of thousands of people around the country.

"Big Times highlights the inspirational stories of just some of the people whose lives have been touched in some way so we thought it was appropriate that they were here, central to this event, to hand out the magazine."
