Olympic diving champion and knitting enthusiast Tom Daley has collaborated with the National Lottery to create the world's first-ever 'Scratchcard-igan'—a festive cardigan that combines holiday cheer with a chance to win a cash prize (OK! Magazine).

🎁 The Scratchcard-igan Details

The unique garment draws inspiration from National Lottery Scratchcards, blending Daley’s renowned handcraft skills with the organization that financially supported his training and competition costs.

• Design: The cardigan is a festive Christmas jumper featuring special sequined sections.

• The Game: Much like a traditional scratchcard, these sequins can be brushed in the reverse direction to "scratch" off the covering. If the wearer unveils the word 'Win' on any panel, they secure a substantial £500 cash prize (OK! Magazine).

• Odds: One in four wearers of the cardigan is estimated to win the £500 prize.

Tom Daley remarked that knitting is a way for him to "spread joy and creativity," and the Scratchcard-igan "feels like the kind of thing that could easily become part of people's Christmas traditions – playful, cheerful and a reminder that a little everyday fun can go a long way" (OK! Magazine).
