Episode 7 The National Lottery: In It to Win It

Welcome to the National Lottery and In It To Win It. Now, he is your

Good evening! Good evening. Welcome to the

National Lottery programme. Are you going to be a winner? I hope so

because there is a fortune to be one in tonight's lottery draw. I

wish you well, fingers crossed. In the studio, I have five anxious,

eager, well-meaning players, each with their eye on taking up to

�100,000. Let's give them a warm welcome. They are Carole. Karl.

Claire. Terry. And Becki. Here's how it works. Right now, they are

sitting over there. The money is over here. Whoever makes it out of

the waiting area to join me in Winners' Row is in with a chance of

me handing them a cheque the huge money at the end of the show. The

question is, who will be the first sitting in Winners' Row? You each

have your own colour, let's find who will play first?

Yes! It is Becki, come and make I tell you what, I've never known

such a long audience appreciation. Did you bring them all in on a bus

today with you? Where have you come from? Stoke on Trent. The Potteries.

What do you do? I am a guest relations coordinator. I remember

this. That means, do I come to you if I need help with something?

you have a complaint at the hotel. If I were to say to you, the odd

complaint that has surprised you, what would that be? Somebody who

couldn't eat the breakfast, because they had no teeth. So, what did

they want you to do? They wanted the bacon softer. Bacon is chewy no

matter what. He had no teeth. You must have a giggle about it

sometimes. Sometimes it is funny. You are here to play the game. How

much money would you like? About �20,000. That's very modest. And

what is the purpose of the money? want to get married. Is he here?

is up there. On the end there. quite a handsome devil really. When

are you getting married? Hopefully, next year if I win today. If you

don't win, do we have to put it back? A little bit, yes. Do you

want a really big do? I'm not fussy, I want to marry him. You make a

lovely couple. We have ignored the lovely lady next to your fiance.

That's Vicky, my best friend. how are you? Obviously, this isn't

getting the job done. Every question is worth �5,000. There is

nothing in the prize fund. We could go up to 100 grand. I have to warn

you, every question, although it is worth �5,000, a wrong answer sends

you to the Red Area. There are only two ways out, back in Winners' Row.

Or back where you started. It's gone, it's not going to happen.

Stay here as long as you can. When the klaxon goes, we will see what

is in the prize fund. Your question for �5,000. Oh, I'm

I love haggis, but I wouldn't know the answer to that, do you? No. My

first instinct was pig. And then I went to sheep. I am ruling out

rabbit. I am going to go for sheep, please. Yes? Shall I take sheep as

your answer? Yes, please. I have accepted sheep. Is it sheep? Yes.

A very good start. We are going to make �10,000 right now. Here is

This is long before your time, I know that. It is so famous you

probably know. I think I know. I think. I want to say the Cavern.

The other two don't even come into my mind. The Cavern is there, I am

going to say the Cavern. Shall I that as your answer? Yes, please.

accept the Cavern. If it is right, We can make �15,000 straightaway.

You are doing really well. Let's I can see you don't like this

question. Let's hope the answers Hydra.

I liked Hercules from Disney films. So, I think there's no cat or eagle

in there. I'm going straight down the middle for serpent for that

reason. It is a pure guess. OK. Am I to accept serpent as your answer?

Yes please. Is it serpent? Yes! It is good, you have done well.

Sport, good, bad? Bad. Here are Now, I'm going to rule Bangladesh

out. I don't know why, I just am. Again, it is going to be a pure

guess. I am going to go for West Indies. Would you like me to take

West Indies as your answer? Yes, please. Then I shall. I would have

said the same. To be honest with you. I'm not great on cricket but I

would have said the same. Would we have both been right or in the Red

Well. No disgrace, a great start. 15 grand in the prize fund. It does

mean I have an empty seat on Winners' Row. I have four fabulous

players itching to leap to this side of the studio. The money side.

Who is it going to be? Let us find Hi, Terry. Good to see you. Come

OK. Yes! Now, first, who is with you? I've got my brother, Freddie.

And my son-in-law, Jono or Steve. What do you mean Jono or Steve?

name is Stephen Johnson. He's my son-in-law. What part of the world

you live in? In St Ives in Cambridgeshire. Where Oliver

Cromwell was born. I didn't know that. Wouldn't it be great if that

was a question? Have I got this right? Are you the carbon fibre

man? I am. Carbon fibre is a product which is fairly new to me.

I bought a car last year and they said to me, it is all carbon fibre.

What else is made of carbon fibre? Aircraft. Are they really? Get out

of here? I am terrified of flying as it is. Don't tell me that.

You're married? You've been married a very long time. 43 years. Any

kids but not obviously a daughter. A daughter, and my son who is in

America, he does the same job as I do. That has something to do with

your winnings? It does. We don't go that often. It would be nice if I

could go the wrong way round, through Singapore. Years ago, I

spent time in the air force in Singapore and Borneo, and I would

like to take my wife on the way to Atlanta. That is a fabulous idea.

What would you like to win, be honest? To get everything done.

�25,000. Let's hope we make that happen for you. You are only here

because Becki had a slight mishap with the cricket. I'll be back with

your first question in a moment. Becki, you are going back to

Winners' Row. This is one question. In the Red Area, this is not

multiple-choice. Are you ready? Let's have a look at your Red Area

I have no idea. I have been to Turkey a few times. I have got one

name in my head. I'm going to say it and I'm really sorry if it's not

right. I'm going to say Istanbul. thought you were going to say

Milton Keynes! I'm not that bad at geography! Would you like me to

take Istanbul as the answer? I shall, I accept Istanbul. Is it

Istanbul? Yes! I am showing my age here. There used to be a great song,

Istanbul, not Constantinople. have never heard of that one.

and sit down. You make me look old! Right, Terry. We are looking at

�15,000. If the klaxon went now, you would be spitting it two ways.

Not nearly enough but it Is early days. This could make it 20. Here's

your first question. I don't know. I am trying to see if I can work

this out. I don't think it's AA Milne. A total guess. It's going to

be Frank L Baum. Do you want me to take that as your answer? OK. I've

accepted that. It isn't. PL Travers. You are halfway back here. For now,

please make your way to Red. Thank you. Standby. One of you for sure

is going to be sitting here. After Becki has put five grand in the

prize fund. Let's make it 20 grand. Right. I know Cornwall is by the

sea. I've never been to any of the three places. Cambridge, it may

have a sea but I really don't know. I wouldn't know that. I'm going for

Cornwall. Would you like me to accept Cornwall as your answer?

please, Cornwall. I've accepted Cornwall. It's locked in. Now I

have to ask you a question. Why the sea, what's that got to do with the

sea? The lowest point. I know what it is now. That's really blonde. I

thought you meant the lowest point in the country. Oh, I see. I was

trying to think, if I'm wrong and you're right, how did you work it

out? We're going to find out that if you are right or wrong. The

lowest point in Britain? Is it Cornwall? Cambridge. Go and join

Terry in Red. So we now have two in my Red Area. Not a soul in Winners'

Row which means that three in the waiting area. Now one of them is

about to join me here. Let's find Hi, Karl, good to see you, come and

OK. Welcome to Winners' Row. Why have you come from? From Manchester.

Which is great. I love your story. You had a real serious job.

worked with neurosurgeons selling kit to them. You were a salesman

for surgical equipment? And then, he decided, I have had enough of it,

I want to be a barman. So, when you went to become a barman, he

actually went to two or three jobs. And he went for one job with a girl

who was doing the employing, called Anneliese. The lovely blonde. Who

said, I can't give you the job. But. We'll go on a date. So she thought,

I don't want to give him a job because I don't mix business with

pleasure but I'd like to see him at the business. Most girls like you

to have a job. She's a beauty. done well. You've done very well

indeed. Who was the gentleman next to Anneliese? My good friend Scott.

Good to see you both. You want 60 grand, what are you going to do?

I won 60 grand, I'd travel. OK. You join me in winners Row with �15,000

and you are on your own here. I'm not happy with that fund it's not

big enough. You are going to put money in straight away. Not until I

got these two out of my Red Area. Are you ready for your question?

Let's have a look at the Red Area Is it Dad's Army? Back you come!

Come on. Come on back. Now, then. Gone a bit blank here. It's not

green, I think that's the sports pages from Hull. Yellow, Yellow

Pages. I'm pretty sure it's pink. Would you like me to take pink as

your answer? I've accepted pink. If it's right, we'll have 20 grand in

there. Is it pink? Great, well done! I'm going to move this along.

I want to get this prize fund up, up, up. Terry, come on now. Let's

Bar codes, do you know what I am talking about? When I hear the

beep... Yes, I do. LAUGHTER. And I haven't got a clue

really! Supermarket Sweep. Barcodes. Right. I'm going for 1970. So you

reckon it was the '70s? I don't really know, Dale, but I'm going

for the 1970s. If that's right we'll have 25 grand in the prize

fund. Is it the '70s? Very good! Becki, you've had a chequered run

so far on the show. Twice in the Red Area, three correct answers,

you've put 15 grand in and you are now going put another five in, here

Prince Edward? He resigned his commission. I was only just born in

1987 and I'm not very good at history. I'm just going to go for

Royal Marines. Would you like me to take the Marines as your answer?

Yes, please. I accept that. If it's right, will have 30 grand in there.

Is it the Royal Marines? Yes! Well done! Good. OK. Carole, how are you

doing? I'm fine, thank you, Dale. Who's with you for support? I've

got my husband, Michael and my sister, Frances. Good to see you!

Claire, beautiful lady. Who's with you for support? My mother-in-law

and my best friend, Claire. Good to see you, good to see both. Karl,

this isn't getting the job done. More than anything, you need to

earn some money because for goodness sake we've got to get you

a shirt. 30 grand, let's make this This is not quite my genre, Dale,

to be honest. I'm going to take a punt here and go with Beyonce.

Would you like me to take Beyonce as your answer? Yes, please.

Accepted, done, sealed, locked. Beyonce, is it right? Five grand.

Well done. Terry. Hello, Dale. I don't think it's a pastry chef. I

don't think it's a butcher. I think it's a surgeon. Are you saying

you'd like me to take surgeon as your answer? Yes, please. I accept

surgeon. I hope it's right. It is! You know, funnily enough, when that

came up, I thought I don't like that. Then I remembered, isn't the

medical magazine called the Lancet? It is. That is how I would have got

there. Well done, it's good. Give him a cheer, he's doing well. Now,

Is this any good to you? No, but I know Jason will be shouting at me

and that is killing me. I think usually Manchester United got a

close second so, for that reason, I'm going to choose Manchester

United. What you're saying is you would like me to take Manchester

United as the answer. Yes, please. I'll buy that, I'll seal it, it's

locked in. If it's the right answer, we will have 45 grand in the prize

fund. That will be nice. Is it Manchester United? I like this. You

are in it to win it. 45 grand, quick mathematics, 5, 5, 5, 15

grand, that would make it the 60 grand. You would be looking at 20

grand apiece. Karl, don't let me down. I'll try not to. Here's your

I'm pretty sure I know what it is. Not sulphur. I don't think it's

calcium, I'm pretty sure it's carbon. Are you saying accept

carbon? I'm saying its carbon, Dale. OK, I've accepted carbon. If that's

right, 50 grand, nice, thank you very much, I'll take that. Is it

carbon? Yes, well done! What you wouldn't have given for that

question. You deal in carbon all I think I know it, Dale. Are you

serious? Through my grandkids. course! I think it's Mr Tumble.

Would you like me to take Mr Tumble as your answer? Yes, please.

Accepted, done, sealed. Is that the right answer? Yes, 55 grand! I love

it! Becki, come on we are doing ever so well here. Let's have your

next question. Another geography Now, in my head, it began with A.

So, do I just go gut, and say Angel Falls, even though I know the top

two and Niagara is really famous. I'm going to go with my gut and say

Angel Falls. Would you like me to accept Angel Falls? Yes, please,

Dale. I have accepted Angel Falls but is that the right answer? Yes!

Well done. OK. We have �60,000 in the prize fund. You are looking at

20 grand apiece. Karl, here is your Oh, dear, this is a tough one. I'm

going to have to take a guess here. I'm going to go with... F. Would

you like me to take F as your answer? Yes, Dale. Accepted. Is the

answer F? Yes! Terry, here's your Dale, that's a hard one. I've heard

the word. I'm going to say desirable, Dale. Would you like me

to accept desirable as your answer? Yes, please. I accept desirable. If

that is right, 70 ground, is it desirable? It's talkative. Well,

listen, you've been in the Red Area before. You did make it back and

you know what, you will do it again. For now, please make your way to

Let's make it 70 K. Here's your Now, I'm ruling out Peter Pan

because I think I've seen Peter Pan and it's quite soft so I don't

think that would be in it. I want to say the Hobbit. And I went for

gut before so I'm going to go for gut again and say the Hobbit.

Hobbit? Yes, please, Dale. I accept it. I don't know either. I would

have said the Hobbit. I'm hoping it's right. Is it the Hobbit?

Pan! However, the good news is, you

worked so well with Terry before so maybe it will be OK. Please make

your way to Red. Thank you! Girls! You both look gorgeous. Only

one of you can join me here in Winners' Row. Who is it going to

Hello! Hello! Please, take a seat. Where have you come from? I've come

from Sedgley in the West Midlands. I know the West Midlands because I

used to work in Wolverhampton so I know the Black Country. I know the

area well and they talk like that all the time! Who have you brought

with you for support? I've brought my mother-in-law, Constance. There

she is. And my best friend, Claire. Claire and Constance. I love the

name Constance because it's one of the traditional names. So she's

very posh? Yes! Is she semi- detached with no lino? No, she's

fully detached with everything. know, fully detached, Draylon,

Japanese rug, oh I can imagine. I'm only teasing, Connie. She would

hate me calling her Connie, wouldn't she? Sorry, Constance. OK.

What do you do? I'm a fitness Zumba instructor. You do Zumba dance? I

read this about you. What is that? It's an amazing kind of dance that

originated in South America and it's an amalgamation of all

different kinds of dancing. So it's different? Yes. What would you like

to win tonight? I'd love to win �100,000! And what would you do

with 100 grand? I would throw a big party. I would love to own my own

dance studio. I would love to work with disabled people and learn

about dance as a therapy to help disabled people. That is a

brilliant idea. That is a brilliant idea. So, we need to get you some

money. You do not have to do a thing right now. You join me with

65 in the prize fund. I need to get these two out. The only reason you

are here is because they are there. I will be back with your question a

mo. You have been here before. Here I got a smile immediately. I love

this man! You've got your boyfriend up there, hang on! I am sure he

will love you, too. I'll look after Boy Scouts? Do you agree? Yes, Boy

Scouts. You both say Boy Scouts? I'll accept that as your answer. If

it is right, you'll go back to Winners' Row. Is it the Boy Scouts?

Now this is very interesting. KLAXON.

Oh! I was about to say we can get to 100 grand but the klaxon has

been sounded. Look at that prize fund. It is �65,000. It is frozen

at that price which means when you look at that 65 grand, you are each

only one question away from your share minimum if you give me the

right answer. You are all looking at �16,250. Carole. Darling, I have

loved meeting you. I have to say good night and I am so upset

because you have sat so patiently all night long but it is lovely to

That is the way it goes, sometimes. Like I say, frozen at 65. 16 grand,

a shade over, each of you is what you are looking at from one

question. I'll be back with that Four in Winners' Row. They are

going to wait for what will seem like an eternity but they are just

one question away from that cash. However, there's so much money to

be won tonight and hopefully here is where you will be a winner which

means, off we go to Lottery HQ for We're live at Lottery HQ. With your

It's looking pretty full, on Winners' Row. Lucky old Claire

sneaking in there at the last minute. She could be about to walk

away with loads of cash for answering only one question! But

you don't even have to do that, because, to win half a million on

Thunderball, and several million on Lotto, all you have to do is have

your tickets ready in your hand, and tick off your numbers as they

come out. It really is that simple. Now, you know what to do. Let's do

it with tonight's first draw, OK, Matt, get that first machine

Our draw team tonight is: On Friday, over 85,000 tickets won

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 50 seconds

a prize. Congratulations if you Not start on the second machine now,

if you would. Matched with all the numbers drawn so far? Then you've

just won �5,000. And you are only one number away from Thunderball's

top prize of half a million pounds, which you don't have to share with

a single soul if you don't want to. Thanks, Alan. That's our bit done

for the moment. But we will be back very shortly for tonight's Big

Lotto draw. And a right royal suggestion of what you could spend

those winnings on. But first, it's back to Dale, and those all

important Winners' Row questions. APPLAUSE.

Welcome back. Not so long ago, these four people

all helped put �65,000 in the prize fund. Which means they each have a

chance of a share of at least �16,250. You know what? One

question only, they need to get right. Separating them from that

cash. Are you ready? Yes. Let's Do you watch EastEnders? I don't!

don't either. So, it's going to be a pure guess. Is it a man or is it

a woman? Well, judging by the fact all three are women's names...

I would think the chances are that it's a woman! Just going to guess

at Denise. Would you like me to take Denise as your answer? No. No,

I'm going to go with Roxy. Would you like me to take Roxy?

I accept Roxy as the answer. If that is right, the minimum you're

going home with is �16,250. Is the Oh? I'm so sorry. It's OK. I have

to say good night. Thank you. night.

A couple of minutes ago, you were looking at �16,250. Now your share

just went up. If you give the correct answer you are going home

with �21,666 minimum. Here's your I actually do love Daley Thompson,

brilliant. Great guy. I'm pretty sure I remember him when I was a

teenager. I was born in 1974. So, I think 1984 was in the States. I'm

pretty sure it was LA, like that, I can't remember exactly. I've got a

funny feeling, I hope I'm right, 1984. Would you like me to take

1984 as your answer? Yes, please. accept that. Is it 1984? Yes! Well

done. Congratulations. Fabulous. Good.

Terry. Right now. Here's where I find out whether you are going home

with �20,666, or his share just went up. You've had a good night

tonight, you put 15 grand in, a couple of trips to the Red Area.

Let us focus on the last question Do you watch Merlin? Every Saturday.

Oh, good. But I don't know what the answer is? Oh. Made in Wales,

Chris Fountain. Are you saying you would like me to take Chris

Fountain as your answer? It's a pure guess. Yes. I accept your

answer. Chris Fountain. I don't know either. We are going to find

out together. I am hoping it is Chris Fountain, is it Chris

Fountain? AUDIENCE GROANS.

Colin Morgan. I'm so sorry. Terry, nice to meet you. Safe journey home.

When you came into this round, you were looking to share 16 grand. You

are now going home with a minimum of �32,500. Whether you go home

with 65 depends on you, Becky. -- Becki. Here's where we find out

whether you are going home with �32,500 or nothing at all. Again,

you were looking at 16 grand. You have been a brilliant player, I

have to say. I so want this to be a good question for you, seriously. I

know you want to get married. You look like you are about to go...

Stop, no, no, no. We are in it together. I think I speak for

everyone in the room, we are all with you. Give her a cheer.

I hope it's a good one. Please show Is that any good? No. I can't even

see the flag. I wanted to say elephant, but. I really don't think

I know the flag. And I don't think dragon is an animal, it's a

mythical creature. So I'm going to rule out dragon. And, as I've done

all along, I'm going to go with my gut. Which is what? Elephant.

am going to go with my gut and take elephant. OK. Happy with that? Yes.

I accept elephant as the answer. If that is right, you leaving him with

�32,500. If you're not, Karl is leaving with �65,000. �32,500. Make

the lady happy. Tell me it's an elephant? AUDIENCE GROANS.

It's a lion. I don't know what to say to you, darling. It's been

fantastic. Thank you. I'm sorry I You've had a result tonight. You

are going home with �65,000. Amazing. CHEERING. Your cheque is

on the way, not far away. It's been a great night. A rollercoaster.

Unusual. Not over yet. Time now to see if you are going to win really

big money, as we cross over to Welcome back and what an emotional

round. Alan, you have used up all your tissues, haven't you? And

Lucky Karl having all that money to himself. If you will have your

chance of winning big tonight with the Lotto draw. For before we get

to that, we must wish Her Majesty the Queen a very happy birthday.

Very high -- many happy returns. you want to but the on the honours

list, I am going straight for a knighthood. During her reign, Her

Majesty has received a great variety of gifts including cowboy

boots, a grove of maple trees and two black beavers. We are going

round afterwards to give her the bumps, aren't we, Alan? If you

wonder what life would be like as a royal with fabulous jewels, you may

not have to wonder because if you win tonight's jackpot, you could

treat yourself to this. There it is, a lovely cushion. On top of it is a

replica of the Imperial State Crown. We wanted the original but they

said no. This is made up of four rubies, 17 sapphires, 277 pearls

and over 3,000 diamonds. The sector is solid gold. It would be very

heavy and has what is believed to be the world's largest diamond

encrusted within it. I wish that was the real one. If you wanted to

put a price on that, you could not because it is priceless. How much

for the replicas? I am reliably informed that they fetch �22,500 at

an auction in March. Talking of jackpots, it is time to find out

what we are playing for tonight as We are using Arthur and set of

balls number 7. Lots of people celebrated on Wednesday with four

tickets hitting the jackpot. There were over 409,000 other winning

tickets. Good news. I think you look great in that ground, it would

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 50 seconds

really bring out your eyes. Are we Here are the numbers in ascending

Thank you. That concludes the draws here tonight. Dale is waiting

patiently with his chequebook. John BP is here on Wednesday with the

midweek draws. I am back on Friday with EuroMillions draw. Myleene

Klass will be here next Saturday. Alan has the Plus 5 results in a

few moments. Back to bail for a cheque presentation. Good luck if

you are running the marathon tomorrow, especially Joni. That

APPLAUSE. I have one more job to do. It's to give Karl his cheque for a

Karl, well done, congratulations. Thank you, Dale. Give us a kiss!

Oh! Thank you! Oh, I deserve that. Thank you, well done!

So, Karl has had a cheque and a kiss and had a fantastic night on
