BIG: 8 local community projects are rallying support for the public vote that could see them win up to £80,000 each from the Big Lottery Fund in this week’s People’s Millions regional contest on ITV London. Up to £400,000 of Big Lottery funding is up for grabs for five lucky groups in the region. The contest goes live on ITV London’s 6.00pm evening news between 26 and 29 November.
Two projects will be showcased each night in a head-to-head battle to win support. At the end of the programme, viewers will be asked to vote by phone for the project they think should win the Lottery good cause cash. Voting telephone numbers will be broadcast during the programme and will also be available on the Big Lottery Fund’s website each day.
There will be one winner of the £80,000 award each night. At the end of the competition there is also an additional bonus award of up to £80,000 that will go to the runner-up with the most votes.
Telephone voting numbers – As with previous years, ITV and the Big Lottery Fund will use a low cost non-premium rate telephone number. ITV and BIG do not make a profit from the voting telephone numbers.
