Call to give £12m EuroMillions prize to the Philippines
More than 43,000 people have signed an online petition to donate the £12 million EuroMillions prize to the Disaster Relief Fund to help people in the Philippines.
The petition, set up by Rachel Riddall, says that Tuesday's prize, which had no winner, should be donated to help people in the wake of the devastation caused by Typhoon Haiyan rather than being rolled over to tomorrow's draw.
Set up on the site change.org by Mrs Riddall on Tuesday night, it has already attracted more than 43,000 signatures.
