In October 1993, the National Lottery Act was passed, allowing a UK lottery to be established. Just over a year later, on 19 November 1994, the very first National Lottery Draw was held, with seven lucky players sharing the jackpot of £5,874,778.
Since then a whole range of other games have been established, and over 1,700 millionaires have been created.
