players knowing they could be taking home tonight up to �100,000.

Let's meet them. They are, Haley. Gareth. Debbie. Paddy. And Lee.

They are on that side of the studio, this is the money side. Whoever is

sitting in one of these chairs when the klaxon goes is guaranteed a

shot at one of those cheques for a lot of money. But who is going to

be the first person in winners row. You each have your own colour.

Let's find out who will be playing first. It is Hayley.

Come and sit down. That was a piercing shriek. Enough to make

your hair stand on end! Is that your own creation or did you have a

motorbike ride? I chose this hairstyle. It is lovely to see you.

Where are you from? I am from Swinton in Manchester. Who did you

bring with you. My friends, Charlene and Kim. How much would

you like to win? I would like to win �20,000. What would you do with

it? I have always wanted a Volkswagen camper van and I---

wanted to paint it and travel across America. Each question is

worth �5,000. This is the worst time for me. I am not comfortable

until it gets up to 40 or 50. For every wrong and so you give me, you

go to the red area. Two ways out of there, right back where you started

right answer! How many languages do you speak?

speak Spanish and a little bit of OK... Somewhere where you keep

animals. Place where you keep books surely is a library. The only one I

could think that it could be his joules. I will have to go for that.

Would you like me to take that as your answer? Yes please. I accept

that, is it right? I always thought a menagerie is a small zoo,

different animals in a menagerie. Weight in the red zone. Haley had a

great start, but she has left a space in Winners' Row for one of

the other players. Who is it going to be? Let's find out.

It is Gareth. Come and make some money. How are you doing, Gareth?

Come and sit down. You were very pleased about that, I can see it

was a genuine, animated response. How are you doing? Excellent.

where from? Port Talbot. What do you do in Port Talbot? I work in

support? My sister and my fiance. How much would you like to go home

with? 50,000. How much we do like to go on to a wedding? Am I jumping

the gun, Laura? She can spend as much as she likes on that. How long

have you been dating? We had been dating for nearly 10 years. We have

been engaged eight years. Who has kept her waiting? It's as myself,

and savings. You make him pay! Make him pay, every penny goes to a

fabulous wedding. You must be a fabulous guy? Is he worth waiting

for that much? He is all right. What else would you spend the money

on? We have been trying for a family for a few years,

unsuccessfully so we would look for IVF treatment. Me chatting won't

put money in the bank. I will be back with your question in a moment.

Haley, you need to go back to Winners' Row. This is not a

multiple-choice. Are you ready? I think I do know this. Or

Wimbledon. Would you like me to take Wimbledon as your answer?

You are very positive on your answers, I like that. I accept

Wimbledon, if it is right you go back to Wimbledon -- winners row.

I have no idea what any of them are. I am going for knock. I hope it is

right. I would have been none the wiser. Please make your way to the

red zone. Stand by, one of you will be joining me soon, after Haley has

put 5,000 in there and made it �10,000. Let's look at your

I don't know much about wars. It is like a real bad subject for me. I

am going to try and whittle it down. I don't think it would be

Switzerland, they seemed like a friendly country and don't get

involved in conflict, so I am going for the USA. Should I take that as

your answer? Yes please. If you are right the 10,000 will be in there.

APPLAUSE I don't in Switzerland would pick a war with anybody.

We have Gareth in the red zone, three in the waiting area, one of

whom is about to make the journey It's Debbie! Very good to see you,

were you getting a bit impatient? Very, I was getting more nervous.

Of course, the waiting is the worst bit, wondering if you're running

out of time. Where are you from? I'm from Wakefield, near Leeds.

What do you do? I am a receptionist on a golf course. These golf

courses, they are very snobbish, some of them, some are laid back,

and full of riff-raff, quite frankly, others are too or posh for

royalty, even, so snooty. We get the posh, and we get nice, down-to-

earth people. Mine is municipal. I call that common. How much is a

round? It is only nine holes, so it is �9. It sounds like half a day at

under Towers. So, is it a very good cause? For what you pay, it is a

very good course. I will take that as a no, then. What you're saying

is, it is a very small but select organisation, run by the council.

You will get me into trouble. not mean to, darling. How long have

you worked there? Well, you're ready for a change now. Five years.

How much do you want to go home with tonight? �40,000. What will it

go towards? I just got married in November. Is he here? That's him,

and that's my mother. Is everything all right, with the mother-in-law?

It is going very well, thank you. Part of the money will be to pay

quite a bit of Det off, which we needed to get married. The second

bit will be to pay for Honeyman, in the Maldives, I want the villa on

stilts. There is only �10,000 in there at the moment, not enough.

But don't worry, I will be back. Gareth, OK, you know how the red

area works, one question, you can do it. I would like to show you the

answer. I believe it to be Glee. you're right, your back in Winners'

Row. Is it right? Yes! OK, here we Do you like rap? No, it is not my

thing, I like music. Oh, I love it, but not British. I have never

watching Harry Potter. That was in the Chamber of Secrets. But in

lightness to that, I'm going to go for a lizard. Would you like me to

take that as your answer? Yes, please. I hope it is right, if it

is, we will have that 25 grand. Well, I know the question... I know

the answer! I am excited, because I know it! Blankety Blank. If that's

right, you have given me a very quick answer, and a right one, too.

the possibilities, any of them familiar to you? No. But I Juno

There you go. We have three choices. Somehow, Susan Boyle is coming to

me, so I will say that. Would you like me to take that as your

bullet. I hope it is the right answer. No. It was actually

happy bunnies over there, one is going to be ecstatic, because one

answer? Yes, please. I have accepted your answer. Afghanistan.

It had to be one of the other. 50 grand in the prize fund. And that

is the worst possible news for Debbie. When I look at the �50,000,

it is frozen. It is not going anywhere. You each have a chance of

sticking your claim and a share and me writing you a cheque for �12,500

minimum. That is what you're looking at per-person if you give

me the right answer. I will be back with the question, but Debbie you

know I adore you. If anybody deserves to be here, it is you. But

minutes. But plenty of money to be one tonight, and I hope you are a

It is time of for the all important Thunderball. This is the one, it

could make a huge difference to what you win. Here are the

Thunderball numbers in ascending It is back to Dale Winton now, but

a we will be back in a few moments with the exciting role over Lotto

draw. Well come back it is good to see

you. A few minutes ago, these people helped put �50,000 in the

prize fund. Each and every one are looking at a share of at least

�12,500. They are only one question away from the cash. How are you

feeling? I feel bad because I have not put any money in. I was being

generous saying you all had put 50,000 in. But you played the game

right and that is how it is on In It To Win It. Where in the world

just fantastic and I love the programme. And the answer is Luther.

born. OK. I don't think it was France. I am going to have to say...

Italy. Would you like me to take Italy as your answer? Italy, France,

Portugal. His name sounds French. Actually I am going to change my

mind and say France. Would you like me to take France as your answer?

Yes please. Then I shall. I have accepted France. You were worried

between Italy and France, is that right? So when it came to it, you

made a decision. It you have given me the right answer you will have

�12,500. If it is wrong, you have pushed everybody's potential share

up. And that already means Leigh is already ahead of the game. Is the

answer France? Portugal! I am so sorry. Never mind.

You had won �12,500. You have now won a minimum of �16,666. What

happens depends on Gareth and Haley. Gareth, you have been once in the

red area and had given me three correct answers. Looking at the

50,000, you know about of that, 15,000 is down to use. You have

gone very quiet. So, for a minimum of �16,666, please show me the

The answer I thought as soon as I saw the question on the screen, was

Vivaldi. I'm going for Vivaldi. Would you like me to take that as

your answer? Yes please. I would love you to be right. Is that the

correct answer? Yes! Well done! Congratulations!

Haley, you have put 20,000 in. Give me a right answer and you are going

home with just the same as the others, 16,666. If you give me the

wrong answer, they will be leaving with 25,000. Please show me the

Have you heard of the expression? No, I haven't. I have never heard

it to do with chef, food or anything like that. And a Taylor, I

didn't think there was another word. It is going to be a guess. I am

leaning towards gamekeeper. It sounds more like it is to do with

animals rather than food or clothing. But now something is

saying Taylor in my mind, and I don't know why. I'm going for

Taylor. Would you like me to accept that as your answer? Yes please.

then I shall. I accept that as your answer. If it is indeed a Taylor,

in historical terms, then you are going home with �16,666. If the

answer is one of the others, then Gareth and Lee are leaving with

It is gamekeeper. Don't cry, come on. I'm sorry. We will have to say

good night, safe journey home. Ladies and gentlemen, Hayley! Your

share just went up. You came in at �12,500. You're leaving with

�25,000 apiece. Once again, In It To Win It is a roller-coaster ride.

But here's where we find out if you're going to have a fabulous

night. It's time to cross over to Lottery HQ for tonight's draw.

Thank you, well done to Gareth and Leigh. In a moment, the big Lotto

draw. We have all fought about spending big money, haven't we? I

went to Oxford to find out about some of the ways you might spend

We are in Oxford, home of the world famous university, in fact, the

oldest English-speaking university in the world. So, there's bound to

be a few smart answers to my question, which is, what would you

do if you won the Lottery? Tell me what you would do. My mum has got a

horse, so I would love to buy a stable. And a house with a paddock.

What would you do if you won all that many? I would make the world's

biggest cake. One Sly's would be as big as the whole street. I would by

Lincoln College and give myself the first. Brilliant idea. I wonder if

anybody has ever tried that. think we should be the first people

to try it. I would invite the town criers from all over the world to

come to the City of Oxford for a massive town crier championship.

What would you do if you were to win the jackpot? We would buy a

house for the dogs, so they can destroy their own stuff, rather

than ours. I would make it free parking for everyone. I think we

all hope you win. I hope so, too. Imagine that, Alan, a world with

free parking. Anyway, it is nearly turn for the all-important draw,

but first, congratulations to this couple from Hull, who hit the

jackpot on Lotto a couple of weeks ago. What do you think they did to

celebrate? Well, he carried on like nothing happened, went out in the

torrential rain to watch some rugby. You're joking, he must have been in

total shock. That's rugby fans, for you. Anyway, they are both keen

gardeners, and they intend to spend more quality time with each other

on the allotment. And who says money does not grow on trees?

Anyway, it is time to harvest our next batch of winners. It is time

OK, Alan, can you please tell us what the jackpot is tonight. It has

been estimated at... Let's get started. OK, let's release those

balls. Tonight we are using Merlin, We had more than a quarter of a

million winners on Wednesday. million winners on Wednesday.

million winners on Wednesday. Congratulations to them. Here we go,

good luck. There's the first one. That came out last weekend as well.

Next, 40. The National Lottery has given away more than �40 billion in

prizes. And here's the fourth one tonight, number three. Here's

another one for you, this time it is number 20, also drawn the

Saturday before last. 106 times it has been the main ball, that one.

And the sixth one, number 16. And the bonus... So, the Lotto winning

That is our business done. Thank you for joining us. Back now to

Dale. And if you have played Lotto Plus 5, we will have the results in

All that remains for me to do now is to give out these two cheques.

�25,000 apiece. How fabulous is that? Let's hear it for our windows.

�25,000 for Leigh. And Gareth, there's your cheque for �25,000.

Congratulations, well done. OK, well, they have both had their

cheques. It has been another fantastic night on In It To Win It.
