:00:55. > :01:09.for Thunderball. OK. Julie, start up that first
:01:09. > :01:16.machine. Our Draw Master is Julie Hamilton and toes's draws are being
:01:16. > :01:23.overseen by Sian Fleet Milne. -- and tonight's draws are being overseen

:01:35. > :01:44.ready? We are. Good luck, everybody. Here we go. Round and round they go.
:01:44. > :01:49.There is the first one. 29. A total of 39 balls to pick from in this
:01:49. > :01:56.first machine. You just choose five of them. Here is the next one. That
:01:56. > :02:05.is 39. Three opportunities per week to play the game. There's 38. We
:02:05. > :02:12.need a couple of more from our first machine. There is the first of them.
:02:12. > :02:20.30. How are you doing so far? Well, I hope! Here is the last one. There
:02:20. > :02:30.it is. Number 5. Julie, let's get the second machine started.
:02:30. > :02:34.Excellent. You are still within a chance of winning a cash prize even
:02:34. > :02:38.if you haven't matched a single number so far. If you have matched
:02:38. > :02:43.every number, you could be seconds away from winning £500,000. Take a

:03:04. > :03:13.Now, many more of the hundreds of thousands of projects that you help
:03:13. > :03:18.support have received vital National Lottery funding recently. Let's look
:03:18. > :03:23.at some of them, starting in Northern Ireland - boom - it is
:03:23. > :03:28.great news for the Verbal Arts Centre in Derry who have been
:03:28. > :03:32.awarded £147,000 for the Reading Rooms. This fantastic initiative
:03:32. > :03:38.encourages people of all ages to read and provides training for
:03:38. > :03:46.volunteers to set up reading allowed group. Up to Scotland, to the Isle
:03:46. > :03:50.of Tiree where the Tiree Windsurfing Club has been awarded over £1,400.
:03:50. > :03:54.This has enabled young islanders to take part in swimming lessons.
:03:54. > :04:02.Because there is no indoor swimming pool on the island, they were taught
:04:02. > :04:10.to swim out in the open water. I expect it's probably thawed out by
:04:10. > :04:14.now! In north Birmingham, £280,000 was awarded to the Acacia Family
:04:14. > :04:19.Support. They provide telephone support and a weekly befriending

:04:29. > :04:33.to teach young people about the benefits of saving and budgeting and
:04:33. > :04:41.when I say My Bank, I'm not referring to my bank, the National
