Build Dreams, Create Change
This year, the National Lottery is celebrating its 27th birthday by asking the nation what is most important to them in their communities. We teamed up with a host of famous faces to unveil four striking installations across London, Cardiff, Edinburgh and Antrim to inspire and spark positive change in our communities.
Each installation is made up of more than 636 National Lottery balls to represent the 636,000 projects that have been supported over the last 27 years!
'BUILD'
Former world and Olympic champion cyclist Sir Chris Hoy helped us unveil a striking new installation at the Royal Botanic Garden in Edinburgh, titled 'BUILD'.
The installation in Edinburgh is the first of four pieces of artwork that The National Lottery has unveiled across the UK as part of its 27th birthday celebrations. The installation is an anamorphic piece of artwork that when viewed from a specific angle says the word ‘BUILD’ and from another view forms a question mark.

'CREATE'
Love Island 2021 winner Liam Reardon has unveiled a striking new installation at the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff that has been commissioned by The National Lottery to inspire change and to encourage the public to think about how they might use some of the £30million raised for good causes each week in their own communities.
The installation in Cardiff is the third of four pieces of artwork that The National Lottery plans to unveil this week across the UK as part of its 27th birthday celebrations. The installation is an anamorphic piece of artwork that, when viewed from a specific angle, says the words ‘CREATE’ in English and ‘CREU’ in Welsh.
