Letter: The national lottery: charitable uses for the money

Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Sir: Rather than a chance of winning pounds 1m for my pounds 1 lottery ticket, I would much prefer to have 10 chances of winning pounds 100,000.

There are many ways in which pounds 100,000 would help me, whereas a million would almost certainly present problems - as we have learnt from some of the pools winners.

I think most people would agree and I wonder whether it is too late to urge the Government to rethink the prizes.

Yours truly,

BOB MUSKER
