APPLAUSE Thank you. Good evening. Welcome to

the National Lottery In It To Win It. Now, in tonight's National

Lottery draws there is a huge, absolutely huge fortune to be won.

Will you be a winner at home? I'm hoping you will. I'm keeping

everything crossed for you. In the studio I have up to �100,000 waiting

to be won. Five eager players are waiting to play for it. Let's meet

them. They are Stef, Michael, Dean, Shona

and Bert. Here's how it is. Now they're in the waiting area. They

need to be in Winners' Row with me. Whoever is sitting in Winners' Row

when the klaxon goes means I could hand them a cheque for a huge amount

of money. Question is - who will be the first person to sit in Winners'

Row? You each have your own colour. Here's where we find out who's going

APPLAUSE Come and sit down.

That is the most envied spot in the house right now, the first one. The

thing is, can you keep it? I think I can, why not? If you do, it means

you're up for 100 grand. Where are you from? Barrow-in-Furness. Who

have you brought with you? My gorgeous girlfriend Laura and friend

Jessica. Hi ladies. They're looking good up there. They are.What do you

do? I'm a technical coordinator for a nuclear submarine building firm. I

wanted a fancy submarine, I don't know why I would, people buy boats,

I think I'll have a submarine instead, can you just buy one?

think there are rules and regulations around who can fight

them or not. They fire torpedoes. have a hit-list that long. I work in

show business. Forgive me, I don't wish to be rude, but you seem

awfully young. No, I'm 27, dail.He -- Dale. He looks really young.

has been said. Knock it. I would pray for genes like that. Seven face

lifts, about 400 grand, trust me, you don't want genes like that. You

want genes like that. I am kidding. Five... Not seven! Marriage on the

cards? Potentially, at some point. If we won a bit of money, we would

be on the cards. How much are you going home with tonight? I'm only

here once. I'm here for the lot. What are you spending the money on

then ah, part from a potential -- then, apart from a potential

wedding? If it was a smaller amount, something like a deposit, something

like that. Zblefr question worth 5,000. ; correct answer that is.

Every wrong answer means the Red Area. There are two ways out, right

back where you started or if you get the answer right, of course here.

There's nothing in the prize fund, if you look. Let's put some money in

straight away. If you're ready, I'll give you the first question. Let's

know Tha'it was big on the 60s music scene as well, I think. I could be

wrong, but I think it's mentioned in the song by the Kinks, called

Dedicated Follower of Fashion. answer is? Fashion.If you're right,

answer is? Fashion.If you're right, I'm not sure about this one.

Something tells me that I don't think it's France. It sounds maybe

like a Latin word. It's between Italy and Spain. Fino? I think I'm

going to go for Italy. Would be like me to take Italy as your answer?

I'm going for Spain. OK. Would you like me to take Spain as your

down. It means, for now, please make going to -- wobbly start. It's all

going to change. Someone else is about to join me now. Who is it

house wife. Did you bring him here tonight? Where is he? Hello. How are

you? Good, thank you. Who is that? One of my best friends. How much do

you want? I would like at least 50. This series people are actually

being more honest about it. I respect that because that's what

you're here for. What would you do with that money? We would take the

children to Florida next year. Disney. I'd like to have a kitchen

extension. You want quite a bit of cash. Yes.You need to earn some

money for that. You are only here because Michael got it wrong. Going

to get him out of the Red Area and back here in Winners' Row. I'll be

back in a moment. Michael, I don't know what happened. I thought you'd

get that one. You'll never forget it. Second guessed myself.I'm going

to ask you to put it behind you. We'll move on. Gone. You're in the

Red Area. One question, this will not be multiple choice. You need to

get back there now. I don't want to be back over there. You put in five

grand. You have a stake in that area. Ready? Ready to go.Which US

president resigned from office in 1974? That's a tough one because you

weren't even around then. I think I know this one. I think

1974 may have been the water gait scandal I think. -- Watergate

scandal, I think. I can't think of any other US president presidents

that have resigned. So I'm going for Richard Nixon. That's right you're

going back to Winners' Row. Is that At the moment you're looking at

�2,500 apiece. Here's your first �2,500 apiece. Here's your first

were talking about it at the weekend and I took no notice of who the chap

was. I know it's a man. I'm drawn towards Tablo. I'm drawn to it

because I heard him on Radio 1 having an interview and the letter

"T" ringeds a bell. I have no lodge -- rings a bell. I have no logic in

it. Gummy is a ridiculous name. I'm going for Tablo. Am I to accept

that doesn't know it's Psy. Make your way to red.

APPLAUSE One of you will be joining me. Stand

by. I want to do �100,000 tonight. Come on another five in straight

away. Ready? I'm ready. Here's your difficult one. I've never heard of

either of the books. It's impossible for me. This is like a nightmare

question for me. No, I'm going to have to guess. I'm going to say

Hilary Mantel. If that is right, it will be 10,000, if not you'll be in

will be 10,000, if not you'll be in the Red Area with Steph.

I have one in the Red Area and three waiting to join me in Winners' Row.

Here's where we find out who's it going to be. It's white, that's

Dean. APPLAUSE

Where have you come from? London. And who due bring with you?

beautiful girlfriend, Jo, and my lovely mum Irene. Hello ladies. How

are you doing? You're very energetic. I could see that you're

chomping at the bit to get out here and earn some money. I'm pumped up.

What do you do? I work as an account manager for a software company.

sounds like a high-paying job. does, but believe me, it's not!

really? How much do you want to go home with? �30,000 would be a nice

sum. Would you do with the money?My mum lives on her own. I'd like to

treat her. I'd like to take my girlfriend on a nice holiday. Maybe

get a new car? My car is a bit tired. Don't have to do anything

right now. I have to get - look at her face - Steph out of the Red

Area. Steph, you know how the Red Area works. You've seen Michael sail

through. It one question, not multiple choice. Find the right

answer and you're there. Are you answer and you're there. Are you

think it is called Brave. I'm guided by you. Yeah, I think my answer is

Brave. Would you like me to take that? Yes. If that's right, well,

that? Yes. If that's right, well, that? Yes. If that's right, well,

now. Dean, here's your first he's a diver. I know he did well at

the Olympics. But where was he born? This is going to be a guess.

Plymouth. Would you like me to take that as your answer? Yes.Accepted.

If it's Plymouth, another 5,000 in the prize fund. Is the answer

the prize fund. Is the answer Plymouth? Yes! Well done.

OK, �15,000. That's more like it. Well, I'm quite confident that I

know the answer to this one. I'm pretty sure that the loan ranger

used to shout" Hi-ho Silver away!" Shall I take that as your answer?

Yes. You're doing well, time is money. The quicker you are, the more

money goes in. I like it. You're playing it right. Is that the right

Here's another �5,000 question. Are Here's another �5,000 question. Are

I'm confident to say it's Adele. Like me to take Adele as your

answer? Yes, please.That's right, that's the way to play the game.

We're knocking up the cash quick. I'm looking for Adele.

Well done. �25,000. If you know it, go with it. Here's your next

Any good to you? I have a feeling that Ian Poulter was a wildcard into

the Ryder Cup. I'm not sure if he was the top points scorer. I'm going

to go with Ian Poulter. Would you like me to take that as your answer?

Yes. It's an uncertain yes.It is. I've accepted it. I hope it lights

up in the other colour, meaning it's the answer. If it is five grand. Is

the answer. If it is five grand. Is moment. This is looking good. Let's

my mind, I do recognise the quote. Picking which one is the answer is a

totally different matter, unfortunately. I don't think it's

Coleridge. I don't recognise that. I'm going to go for Keats. Is that

the answer you would like me to accept? It certainly is, yeah.I

accept that. If that is right, another five grand. Is it? I thought

it was Coleridge. For now, you'll be back, for now, please make your way

to red. APPLAUSE

One of you guys are joining us very soon. That's for sure. That's after

you have put another five grand in. Are you ready? I am.You have been

smiling the whole while. You're loving this. I can tell. Here's your

loving this. I can tell. Here's your answer is Catalonia. Am I to take

that as your answer? Yes, thank you. If that is right, I think you seem

to - I have a lift now - you've prize fund is now �35,000. I've got

one in red, two in Winners' Row, two in the waiting area. Hello, hello,

hello. One is going to join me. Who is it going to be? It's blue, that's

is it going to be? It's blue, that's is it going to be? It's blue, that's

APPLAUSE I don't know what to say to you,

darling. How are you doing? good, thank you. I'm just all on my

own. Looking after you. We're not forgetting you. Bert, how could you

leave that girl on her own. It's a bit unfair. Isn't it really. Where

are you from? Northern Northern Ireland. Do you do? I have a small

record shop, soy have actually. I'm semi-retired. My daughter and I run

it between us. . Who did you bring with you? I brought my dear friend

Tommy who I play golf with and my grandson Christopher. Have they come

from Ireland with you? They have, yes. Would you like to win?

Obviously, as much as possible. But I mean, start with 50 and that

wouldn't be too bad. Not far off. At the moment you join me with 35,000.

If the klaxon went now the split would be 11 and change, nearly 12

grand apiece. I'd like a lot more in the prize fund. You're going to help

with that. You're going to put five grand in, but not until Michael,

once again, he's making a habit of this - I'm going to get him out of

this - I'm going to get him out of to Michael and give him a good

to Michael and give him a good music. The answer?Progressive.

asked what is Prog short for in Prog Rock, Michael says it's

"progressive". If that's right, APPLAUSE

OK. Bert, are you ready? I hope so. �35,000, we've got one, two, three,

four, four fives are 20, we could do 55,000 in four very short answers.

That would be nice. Here's your isn't. It's not really. So we're

going to have to guess. I think, I don't know why, I'm going to go for

Charles II. Bert says Charles II. I really hope it's right. If it is,

another five grand in the prize another five grand in the prize

another five grand in the prize apiece. Let's make it 45 grand.

apiece. Let's make it 45 grand. have been around a long time. And

this is a song in 2012. I think I'm going to go public enemy. --Public

Enemy. Would you like me to take that as your answer? Yes.They've

all been around a long time, you're right. The chance to stay in

Winners' Row, making it �45,000 in Winners' Row, making it �45,000 in

change if the klaxon went now before the four of you. We can push that.

Come on let's make it 50. Are you ready? I am.Let's look at the next

It's going to be a complete guess. I'm going to go for France, please.

Like me to take that as your answer? Like me to take that as your answer?

always had that kind of friction. So I would have wondered if that had

been right. Turkey on the other hand, it seemed near enough. Who

knew. Not you ah, parentally. me. Doesn't matter. The good news is

you're not quite back where you started. You are going fob a

temporary break in the -- for a temporary break in the Red Area. You

will be back. Yes.For now, make your way to red.

APPLAUSE Showna you know you're coming over

in a minute. You know you are. For now, you're going to put 5,000 in.

now, you're going to put 5,000 in. I'll rule that out for a start. I

seem, I do possibly remember it being in the press and there being

some kind of, not an accident as such, but something where they got

stuck for a little while. Maybe I'm making that up? Between Prince

Andrew and Prince Edward. I'm going to go for the one that seems like

the most daring, I think, probably the biggest character of the two.

So, I think, I'm going to go for Prince Andrew.

You described him very well. Am I to accept that? Yes.I've accepted

Prince Andrew. If that is right you've put another five grand in. I

can't remember, is that the right That means, Shona, come to Dale.

so patiently you waited. You look beautiful. Thank you very much.You

have been elegantly sitting there. This has had your name on it all

night. Did you think, oh, dear, it's not going to happen. I thought it

wasn't going to be my night. here you are at last. Where have you

come from? Originally from Aberdeen. I'm at university in Edinburgh. Are

you with? My mum and dad.There they are, up there. They're relieved to

see you over here. How much would you like to go home with? Originally

abou 8�80,000. What would you do?I have always had a dream of becoming

a pilot. It's obviously very expensive. It's never been

realistic. If I won a lot of money, then definitely kickstart a career.

Like to be a commercial airline pilot? Commercial.Really? You don't

have to do anything right now. You're only here because Steph got

the answer wrong. We're going to get her back in Winners' Row. I'll be

back with your question ain a moment. This is not a good time to

be in the Red Area. You know how it works, one question. This is not

multiple choice. Find the right answer, and you're headed right back

to Winners' Row. That's looking very full at the moment. You don't want

to be on your own over there. Are you ready? I am.I wish you the best

series which is the Archers. Would you like me to take the Archers as

your answer? Yes, please.I accept now, please make your way back to

The klaxon has sounded. That means that prize fund is frozen. �50,000

is going nowhere. It is stuck. It is frozen. It can go one, two, three,

four ways. That means each of our players in Winners' Row is looking

at a minimum share of �12,500 each for answering one question. That's

right. They're one question away from that cash. Steph, I have to say

good night. That's all right. Good night. Her a big cheer.

You cut it fine. Di.You know, what you still got here. That's the main

thing. When you look at that prize fund, you look at that �50,000, you

can say, it's safe and I'm going to take my cut. Split four ways,

�12,500 apiece. I'll be back with your question in a moment. Relax.

No two shows are ever the same. My Winners' Row tonight is not what I

was expecting, however, they're going to sit for a while. It's going

to seem like forever, but they could be going home with a minimum of

�12,500 each. You could be going home with so much more money. I hope

it happens for you. Yes, it's time for tonight's Thunderball draw from

the National Lottery. Good luck everyone.

We're live at lottery HQ. Hello everyone at home. Now coming right

up is the Thunderball and Lotto draws. They could make you nice and

rich. Also featuring in tonight's show is another of our National

Lottery hero films. This time, it's all about getting outside, getting

fit and keeping the Olympic legacy alive. One man trying to do that is

Bob Purcell. We'll hear about his story later. First let's get the

OK, start up the machines if you would, please. Excaliber five and

set of balls one were chosen earlier today. Four lucky ticket holders

have won the top prize on Thunderball in the past week.

Congratulations. Good luck for The first one is about to appear,

number 12. We have 39 balls in all to pick from in this first machine.

That is number 39. Three opportunities per week to play the

game itself, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Next up, 38. We need two

more from this, our first machine, before we do anything else tonight.

Here's the first, number 20. And finally, which is it to be? That's

number 37. Excellent. Every ticket is still in play. Good luck.

This could make all the difference. It's number 3. So, here are

tonight's Thunderball numbers again, tonight's Thunderball numbers again,

tonight's Thunderball numbers again, tonight's Thunderball numbers again,

and our hero's film right after we It wasn't so long ago I left you

with a prize fund of �50,000. And four players were in Winners' Row.

All were looking at their share of �12,500. They're just one question

away from that cash. Shona, you've played the perfect game. I have, so

far. You've walked over here, sat down and said, " I'll have one

question, please." Here you are. How are you feeling? I'm very excited.

You are. You've hit the ground running, literally. One question.

You're the first chair, so you set the tone for the rest of them. If

you start with the right answer, they're all looking at 12,500, and

so it goes until it changes. Are you ready? I'm ready.I wish you luck.

idea. OK. No idea. I've never heard of it. I don't know why, I don't

think it's Ben Affleck. OK.I know Tom Cruise is promoting a film,

recently. I'm going to go withTom Tom Cruise. Like know take that as

your answer? I think so, yes.OK. I accept Tom Cruise. If that is right,

the minimum you're leaving here tonight with is 12,500. Is the

answer Tom Cruise? It is Ben Affleck.

I have to say good night. Thank you very much. Oh, the other cheek as

well. Thank you, beautiful lady, so much . OK. Bert, a couple of minutes

ago you were looking at 12,500. As we know the prize fund is frozen.

Now you are looking at one question worth �16,000,66. -- �16,666. Your

contribution is �5,000. You have earned the right to be here. You're

nearly there. Are you ready? As well nearly there. Are you ready? As well

quite honest with you. It's going to have to be a shot in the dark, I'm

afraid, again. I think I'm going to go for Emma. Would you like me to

take Emma as the answer? I'm afraid so, yes. I accept that as the

answer. If you are right, you've won a minimum of �16,666. Is the answer

a minimum of �16,666. Is the answer a minimum of �16,666. Is the answer

a minimum of �16,666. Is the answer Emma? Yes! Oh!Well done.

Congratulations. Well, Dean, just like Bert you are

looking at the same amount of money. You put �5,000 in, you've earned the

right to be here. Here's your last right to be here. Here's your last

answer '98. Do you?Yeah. Well, are you torn between the two? I am.

Neither of them could be right. I'm going to go '93. Like me to take

1993 as your answer? Yes.I accept 1993. If you are right, you're going

home with �16,666. If you are wrong, you just pushed the share of the

other two and the minimum Bert's going home with is �25,000. I want

going home with is �25,000. I want much. I'm sorry. It's been lovely to

meet you. APPLAUSE

Bert, you're up to 25 grand. Whether you go home with 25 grand or whether

you go home with nothing and Bert goes home with 50, depends upon what

happens now. I think you deserve to be given a cheque at the end of the

evening. You've been the MVP, the most valuable player. You put 20

grand in. You're looking at 25 grand. Are you ready for the last

question of the night? Let's just do it. I love your positive attitude.

Please reveal to me Michael's Please reveal to me Michael's

think Nick Clegg was, well I think the election was in 2010, that means

that Nick Clegg will have become Deputy Prime Minister. Philip

Hammond, I can't think of what his role would be in the Cabinet. Vince

Cable, I know that he is essentially Nick Clegg's second in command in

the Liberal Democrats and I know that they wanted to give him an

important role in the new Parliament when they were elected. It's just

whether, see, I don't know who Philip Hammond is. That's the

sticking point. I think, I'm going to have to go for Vince Cable.

I take Vince Cable as your answer? Yes, please. Then I shall. Michael

says Vince Cable. I have accepted that. As I mentioned earlier, you

have been the MVP, the most valuable player, tonight. When you look at

that 50 grand, you are responsible for 20,000 of it. If anybody

deserves the right to be in Winners' Row, more importantly, walk home

with a cheque, it is you. If Vince Cable is the right answer, just like

Bert, you're leaving with a cheque for �25,000. I'll gladly write that

one. If it is not the right answer, you have just given Bert a 25 grand

bonus. He's leaving with 50. I'm pretty sure I speak for the whole of

the studio audience, and probably most of the people watching at home,

I'm with them when we say, yeah, this guy deserves to win. So, come

on, tell me the answer is Vince on, tell me the answer is Vince

Cable. Yes! Well done. Oh, thank you. You're welcome. Well done,

guys. You've got the 25 grand. Oh, that's a relief. That means you can

relax. Your work is done. I've got one thing to do and that's write you

cheques. I'll be back with your APPLAUSE

that was a relief, which means I have two very happy guys there. They

know they're leaving with 25 grand. The question is, how are you going

to end the night - with a lot of cash? I hope. So it can be done in

tonight's big Lotto draw from the National Lottery. Like I always say,

oh, let it be you tonight. Best of Well done Bert and Michael. A great

result for you both. This week's National Lottery hero is a man who

has given up all his spare time to fix up a derelict athletics track in

Gloucester to encourage those to get fit. He's keeping the Olympic legacy

I'm at Gloucester athletics club. It's heaving with volunteers and

young athletes, but this hasn't always been the case. Up until as

recently as 2011, this track had been allowed to fall into a state of

disrepair and had become no more than an eyesore on the community.

That is when Bob Purcell stepped in. There were splits in the fabric.

There were pot holes. It was in a dreadful state. It was unsafe for

training, let alone competition. Now it's been transformed. We have a

competition standard athletics track for the first time in Gloucester.

Without Bob, and two or three of his colleagues, athletes wouldn't have

anywhere to go in Gloucester. He's Mr Athletics for Gloucester. We all

need the assistance of sport England and the lottery. We were given

�100,000. That was a deal maker. We couldn't have done it without that.

We're all staffed by volunteers. We keep the cost down and it becomes

accessible and attractive. There's no reason to hang around on street

corners, if you can afford �1. 50 you can have top-class coaching in a

superb facility. The result of that hard work, a truly remarkable

state-of-the-art track, which is used regularly by 600 youngsters and

adults. The atmosphere is amazing. The people there, obviously, and the

fact that you can just pretty much do whatever event you want and get

better and train. It makes you feel good. You will see actual talent

here at this age. They just need nurturing in the right direction.

That's what Bob doeses. Without people like Bob, we wouldn't be able

to cope. After seeing all the amazing work, I gathered everyone

together for one last surprise. I want to say thank you for letting me

come and see your amazing facilities. Bob, thank you for your

generosity and enthusiasm with all the kids in. A couple of weeks it's

the anniversary Games, Usain Bolt, Jessica Ennis, Mo Farah, they're all

going to be there. I have nice news for you, you're going as well. We've

got you tickets to go and watch! Even better than that, one of you on

the day is going to be part of the action. One of you is going to take

the relay baton and hand it over to the start. You're going to be in

front of 60,000 people on the Olympic track. Make sure you keep

training hard because one of you will have an important role on that

day. Have a great day. Brilliant. The Olympic legacy is alive and well

and living in Gloucester. We'll catch up with the kids from

Gloucester's athletics track on Saturday, July 27, an the

Anniversary Games. That marks one year since London 2012. Back to the

task in hand. It's time for OK. Let's release the weekend balls.

Tonight's jackpot is estimated at �3. 7 million. We're using Merlin

and set of balls eight. There have been over 770,000 winners this week

on Lotto, including five very lucky jackpot winners. Congratulations, if

you won a little something or a big something this week. Julie is the o

big guy ready? Yes.What about Merlin? Yes.Good luck everyone.

does he get away with it? Or does he? There's the first one, number

24. He joined us last Saturday night as well. The next one, please. That

is number 12. 12 the number of organisations that distribute

lottery funding to the schemes we tell you about right here. Next, 36.

A main Lotto ball for the 213th time now. Next, 49. With us last weekend

as well. 264th Lotto appearance. And the fifth, number 45. First number

drawn last Saturday night. 280th time we've seen that one. And the

sixth one, number 15. Appeared the Wednesday before last as well. The

bonus tonight is number 32. Millionaires row this summer

Saturday night looks like this Saturday night looks like this

Saturday night looks like this Saturday night looks like this

Alan will reveal the results at the end of the show. You can view the

Lotto draws online as well. Now it's time to go over to Dale. Alan,

you're my MVP. How kind. Good night.

APPLAUSE Well, a great night. My work is

done. I've got two cheques for �25,000 each for two very happy

APPLAUSE Congratulations. Enjoy it. I will.

There was a time tonight, Michael, when you were in and out of the Red

Area and I was worried this wasn't going to happen tonight. But it did

and I'm pleased. It says pay Michael Harris �25,000, with pleasure.
