Unclaimed Lotto Ticket To Expire
The owner of a UK Lotto ticket worth £3.6m has until 5pm today to come forward or the prize will expires. The jackpot prize has been outstanding since 23 September 2009 but no one has yet appeared with the winning ticket. The winning numbers in draw were 23 – 25 – 28 – 41 – 46 – 47, the bonus ball was 27. One ticket matched all the winning numbers to win the £3.6m jackpot. The winning ticket was sold in the Scottish Constituency of Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey, the National Lottery has said.
Multi-Million Pound Trauma Reach Funding
Up to £10m of funding to research the affects of acute trauma, particularly for military personnel was announced today. The moneyis being made available for a National Institute of Health Research Evaluation, Trials and Studies Coordinating Centre (NETSCC) call for research proposals concerning the management of disability after trauma. This includes people needing physical or psychological rehabilitation following trauma in a military or civilian context. Trauma is a serious problem often affecting people’s lives from the long-term recovery and rehabilitation, both physical and physiological, associated with acute injuries.
Government Plans Trolleybuses
Trolleybuses are on the way back to the streets in Britain. A plan for commuters in Leeds to travel into the city centre on a network of electrically powered buses is to be fulfilled within six years. Public transport provider Metro said the £254m, 14km (8.7 mile) network would "provide a major economic boost" for the city. Metro hopes the network will be operating by 2016, 44 years after Bradford, the last UK city to use trolleybuses, shut its system in 1972.
MPs To Back Justice Deal
Westminster Parliamentarians are expected to formally back the devolution of policing and justice powers to the Northern Ireland Assembly today. MPs are widely predicted to support the Parliamentary orders which will see a Stormont Justice Department established by 12 April. It is anticipated Labour and the Tory party will endorse the transfer of responsibilities, following months of wrangling between the province's political leaders. The Commons debate could shed more light on why the Ulster Unionist Party decided to vote against further devolution. NI Assembly members voted overwhelmingly in favour of setting up a local policing and justice ministry. All but three of Stormont's 108 MLAs cast a vote in the motion. Eighty-eight Assembly Members supported the move, with 17 voting against.
