A one-off National Lottery draw will create 100 millionaires as a "thank you" to participants for helping to fund the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The EuroMillions Millionaire Raffle draw will take place on the night of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games on 27 July, a National Lottery spokesman said.
The event guarantees a £1m cheque for 100 UK winners, breaking the world record for the most millionaires created in one draw.
