Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

We've all been there: you wait two months for a EuroMillions winner and then five come along at once.

Last Friday's £38m winning ticket was again from the UK. It was the fifth time in a row that the winner has come from these shores, a trend that started on January 20.

While the identity of the winners can't be confirmed until later today (or at all, if they choose to remain anonymous), it has been widely reported that the winning ticket came from a syndicate of 12 employees at the Stagecoach bus depot in Corby, Northants, including Aston Martin fanatic John Noakes.

The group are believed to have taken Saturday off after celebrating the previous night's win. Rumours also swirled around Twitter that one driver walked off the bus he had been driving as soon as he heard the news.

All change, please.
