Welcome to the biosphere: Photographers capture Northern Ireland's delicate ecosystem
As part of the 2025 Belfast Photo Festival, a quintet of photographers have collaborated with conservation groups and local communities across Northern Ireland to visualise the fragility and beauty of our natural heritage, with focus on Lough Neagh, peatland, marine areas, the wider Belfast Hills, and temperate rainforests.
Visualising Northern Ireland's Natural Heritage is made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery players, these new co-curated narratives and photographic works are being showcased and discussed across ten exhibitions and more than twelve events in Belfast and throughout Northern Ireland as part of this year's festival.

Ticketholder scoops gigantic £210m EuroMillions in super jackpot draw – making them richer than Adele
A LUCKY lotto player has scooped a whopping £210milllion in the EuroMillions superjackpot draw. The ticket holder from France has now become richer than Adele - who has a reported net worth of around £180million - after winning the eye-watering prize. 1 The jackpot has rolled over during recent draws, as there has been no winner, meaning the prize has now reached its cap of 250 million Euros (around £210 million). Tonight's EuroMillions winning numbers are: 24, 31, 34, 41, 43 and the Lucky Stars are: 06, 08. One lucky person has also become Britain's newest millionaire with the National Lottery Millionaire Maker. This follows a 250 million Euro win for an Irish family syndicate on June 17 in the EuroMillions draw. The jackpot had reached the maximum amount on June 6 after rolling over several times. Andy Carter, senior winners' advisor at Allwyn, said: 'Tuesday's jackpot has the ability to transform not just the winner's life, but the life of the friends and family around them. 'So, make sure you get a ticket to be in with a chance of banking Britain's biggest ever win.' Every EuroMillions ticket also bags you an automatic entry into the UK Millionaire Maker, which guarantees at least one player will pocket £1million in every draw. You can find out if you're a winner by checking your ticket against tonight's numbers below. The UK Millionaire Maker Selection winner is: XMPX55830. Tonight's National Lottery Thunderball winning numbers are: 04, 08, 13, 36, 38 and the Thunderball is 07. The first EuroMillions draw took place on February 7, 2004, by three organisations: France's Française des Jeux, Loterías y Apuestas del Estado in Spain and Camelot in the UK. Exact location of winning €250 million ticket revealed This comes after the winners of the largest-ever EuroMillions jackpot revealed the risky move they took after receiving the life-changing news. After winning a staggering £213,000,000, a family syndicate took a unique measure to protect their golden ticket. The family, who won the money as a syndicate, described the experience as "surreal". Their good fortune came about as one of the family members ran an errand in Co. Cork and decided to buy a EuroMillions ticket. "Although I'm a regular player, I hadn't bought a ticket for the last two draws. I picked one up and honestly, didn't think much of it," they said. The impromptu purchase changed the family's lives forever. While they waited to cash in, the family took extra precautions to protect their winning ticket. However, their unique move proved potentially risky as they concealed it within an A4 sheet before placing it under a stack of laundry. It remained in the pile of clothes in their bedroom until it could be safely delivered to the National Lottery.

One lucky ticket holder could take home a life-changing £210million in EuroMillions jackpot - making them the UK's biggest lottery winner
One ticket holder could become the winner of a record-breaking amount of money on Tuesday. The next EuroMillions jackpot could rise to £210 million, which would become the highest prize ever won in the UK. If there are no winners on Tuesday, it will now stay at 250 million Euros for a further four draws until it must be won in the fifth draw. In the 'Must Be Won' draw, if no ticket matches all five main numbers and two Lucky Stars, the jackpot prize will roll down into the prize tier where there is at least one winner - likely to be five main numbers and one Lucky Star. A single UK winner would instantly become the nation's largest-ever National Lottery winner. They would knock into second place the anonymous winner of a £195 million prize in 2022. It would also make the winner twice as rich as Sir Andy Murray on £100million, leave £75million England captain Harry Kane in the dust and just head off Anthony Joshua with his £195million fortune. WHAT COULD YOU BUY WITH £208MILLION? The 'world's most expensive penthouse', owned by property tycoon Nick Candy at One Hyde Park in central London, made available on the market for £175million. The costliest ever Rolls-Royce, the £20million Rolls-Royce Arcadia Droptail - that is, ten of them. The next James Bond movie - the last instalment, No Time To Die, was budgeted at £184million. Covering the estimated £208million cost of the ongoing Covid inquiry. Spain and Barcelona's Lamine Yamal, 17, judged by analysts to be the world's most valuable footballer at £200million - ahead of England and Real Madrid's £175million-priced Jude Bellingham. Enough £52 75cl bottles of Moët & Chandon Champagne to fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool and about half of another one. 218,947,368 Mars Bars, at 95p apiece in UK supermarkets. It follows an Irish family syndicate claiming a EuroMillions jackpot worth 250 million euros (£216 million) on June 17. The jackpot had reached the maximum amount on June 6 after rolling over several times. This historic Irish win surpassesd the previous EuroMillions record of £195million, which was won by a UK ticket-holder in July 2022. The winning ticket was sold in a retailer in Munster, County Cork, the Irish National Lottery said. The winning numbers from the draw were 13, 22, 23, 44, 49 and Lucky Stars 3 and 5. Under Irish National Lottery rules, jackpot winners can choose to remain anonymous. 'We are absolutely thrilled to have heard from our EuroMillions winner,' Irish National Lottery spokesperson Emma Monaghan said. 'At this point, our priority is to give them the necessary time and space to make arrangements and let this life-changing news sink in.' Andy Carter, senior winners' advisor at Allwyn, said: 'Tuesday's jackpot has the ability to transform not just the winner's life, but the life of the friends and family around them. 'So, make sure you get a ticket to be in with a chance of banking Britain's biggest ever win.' Players should get their EuroMillions tickets - either in store or online - before 7.30pm on Tuesday. An unknown UK ticket-holder was handed the country's record for a EuroMillions jackpot of £195million on July 19 2022. That was even more than the prize landed by Joe and Jess Thwaite, from Gloucester, when they scooped a then-peak £184,262,899 with a Lucky Dip ticket for the National Lottery draw on May 10 that same year. Mr Thwaite, a communications sales engineer, told how his wife who ran a hairdressing salon was asleep when he noticed the winning numbers on the National Lottery app - and he opted not to wake her while browsing for potential new homes. And last December it was revealed a British participant had become the country's third biggest National Lottery winner of all time after hitting a jackpot worth £177million. The single ticket-holder, who chose to stay anonymous, came forward to claim the EuroMillions jackpot after the draw on Tuesday November 26. Among the big winners who did agree to go public with their good fortune were Colin and Chris Weir, from Ayrshire, who were handed £161million in 2011. Colin died aged 71 eight years later after getting through just half of his jackpot, with most of it having been shared between family, friends, and charities. The EuroMillions draw is a biweekly lottery in which members of the public in the UK and eight other European countries participate - with draws held on Tuesday and Friday evenings.

UK's biggest ever EuroMillions jackpot of £210,000,000 up for grabs on Tuesday
A huge EuroMillions prize has been rolled over to £210million after no one won last night's jackpot. Nobody successfully matched all seven of their numbers to claim last night's huge £201million jackpot. The EuroMillions winning numbers drawn on Friday were 13, 30, 35, 36, 40, as well as Lucky Star numbers two and six. The Thunderball numbers were 7, 19, 25, 35, 37 and the Thunderball was two. Tuesday's huge jackpot would make for a record National Lottery win if claimed by a single person, the competition has confirmed. All lottery winners have 180 days from the day of the draw to claim their winnings. Recent winners include dearest friends Carly Wiggett and Becky Witt who used a horoscope to win £168,000 each. A family from Cork, Ireland who won £216,000,000 and revealed they plan to stay in their home city, with no 'outrageous plans to spend the cash yet – except maybe a Rolex'. More Trending But not all big winners have had a fairytale ending, with some falling victim to assassination, abduction, substance abuse and, somewhat ironically, financial trouble. The numbers of millionaire winners whose lives have taken a turn for the worse have led some to dub it a curse. To win the next week's unprecedented estimated jackpot, entrants must have five winning numbers, as well as two EuroMillions Lucky Star numbers. For the Thunderball, players need to match all five main numbers plus the Thunderball. Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at webnews@ For more stories like this, check our news page.
