Episode 3 The National Lottery: In It to Win It

It's the National Lottery In It To Win It with this Saturday's

Thunderball and Lotto Draws live. Now, please welcome your host, Dale

Winton. Oh, thank you. Thank you. Good

evening. I am feeling the love. Right-back at you! Welcome to the

show. Welcome to In It To Win It. In a few minutes, our players could be

going home with up to ?100,000. That is the money they could win tonight,

nothing like what you could win at home if you play the National

Lottery. Those draws are coming up later. I have five co-hosts - let's

meet them. Here they are. Nathalie. Niall. Bradley. Nicola. And Phil. I

have a feeling about them tonight. It will be rather good. Let's see

what happens. We need someone here. Who will be the first person to sit

in Winners' Row? You have your own colour. Here is where we find out

who is going to play first. It's pink and it's Nathalie. Come

and make some money. Hello. Oh. Let me take that in. That is a

beautiful dress. Thank you. Can I touch the fabric? You can. I bet

that is very comfy? Yes. I'm not going to tell everybody your age.

When you applied to come on the show, I couldn't believe how old you

are. I'm not going to say. She looks about 31, 32. Not a word of it! I'm

not going to say anymore. Is that fair? OK. Who is here with you? My

dad, Winston. Hi! My daughter, Jade. Another beauty. There is a clue. She

is notst, is she -- not 12, is she? How old are you, darling? 21. She is

beautiful. You have two kids. Yes. Everybody dreams, so on your way

here, I am sure you were thinking, "If I win 1 00 grand, I would do..."

I would take my family for a nice meal, to celebrate, and then take us

all on a holiday to Mexico. I have always dreamed of going to Mexico.

OK. Have you done the whole LA and New York thing? No. I have never

been to the yus, never. If you win 100 grand, I I would go United

States, Mexico? Would you come, too? Of course! You have been very

forward from the word go. Do I get my own room or not? I like you. You

like me? Yes. We have to make sure you win. Every question is worth

?5,000. You will put ?5,000 in the prize fund for every correct answer.

If you give me a wrong answer, it's the Red Area. You don't want to go

there. There are two ways out of there. Back here in Winners' Row, or

right-back where you started. Which you don't want to be doing. I wish

you the best of luck. Thank you. Are you ready? I am. Alright. Here it

is. Let's have a look. For ?5,000, Isaac new tonne is said to have

formulated his theory of gravity after he saw which fruit fall from a

tree? OK. Any good? Yes. I'm edging towards apple, I think. I think I am

pretty sure. Are you saying you would like me to take apple as your

answer? Yes. I have accepted apple. If that is right, off to a good

start, five grand. Is it apple? Yes! Job well done there. Speaking of

that, what do you do for a living? Executive skills trainer. What does

that mean? I teach people from overseas how to make presentations

in English. That's a tough call. It is. OK. I guess they get the words

wrong? Exactly. You speak very well. Do I? You said "exactly". This isn't

getting the money in the bank. Let's make it ?10,000. Here is your next

question. Erm... Cayman Islands, South China

Sea. I don't see them being there. I think because I have seen Cayman

Islands in films and it always looks very tropical. OK? If I'm going to

say anything, it would be Caribbean Sea. OK. Are you saying you would

like me to accept Caribbean Sea as your answer? I would. We have an

arrangement. Let's find out. It is worth five grand. Yes! Good. I like

your logic there. Here is where we could make it

?15,000. You are on your own in Winners' Row. Here is your next

question: Ooh, Sheldon, Leonard and Howard.

Have you not seen the show? I've seen Friends and I don't recognise

any of those names from Friends. OK. I'm thinking... The Big Bang Theory.

Are you saying you would like me to accept that as your answer? Yes. OK.

I accept that. If that is right, we will have 15 grand in there. Is it

The Big Bang Theory? APPLAUSE Let's make it 20. Here is

your next question. I don't know why I'm thinking

Northern Lights. I will go for Northern Lights. Would you like me

to take that as your answer? Yes. OK. I accept Northern Lights. It

sounds good, but is it right? It is worth another five grand. Please

tell me it is Northern Lights. It sure is!

When we are on our holiday in Mexico, and we are having a cocktail

on the terrace, at night, having a late-night drink, I shall go,

"Nathalie, look, the Northern Lights!" I will never forget them.

Here is where we can make it ?25,000. Are you ready? Ready. Here

we go. 1993. You good at sport? No. I'm

good at some sport. Right. I take it we don't like this question? We

don't. I'm trying to think of what his name suits. I'm going to go for

golf. OK. Would you like me to take golf as your answer? I would, Dale.

OK. I have accepted golf. If that is right, fabulous, 25 grand. If not,

it is the Red Area. But we will see what happens. Is the answer golf?

It's footie. I'm so sorry. Listen, you will be back, sooner than you

think. For now, please, make your way to Red.

Well, just when our four players in the waiting area were beginning to

think, "Will it ever be my turn" the time has come. Which one of you guys

will it be? It's white, it is Bradley. Come and

make some money. Hi, Bradley. How are you? Come and

sit down. So, who did you bring with you for support? Tonight, I have my

mother and my brother and best mate. Hi. That's nice, brother and best

mate. That's right. That is really nice. You get on really well. That

is really good. Mum, obviously, brought you up in a happy home?

Absolutely. What do you do? I work in the IT industry. I try to inject

my passion and enthusiasm into selling products and services for my

company. My eyes glaze over when I think of computers. I find them very

annoying. If they go wrong! It is always best to turn it off and turn

it on again. You have an easy job then! You are here tonight. How much

money would you like? ?50,000. That sounds like you are a man with a

purpose and a good idea of what the 50 grand is going on? My mother is

so great to me and my family, she has helped raise my daughter, and I

would love to treat her and take the family to New York. Oh. Isn't that

nice? I'm going to Mexico with Nathalie and you are going to New

York with your mother. Who knows what will happen tonight. You are

more than welcome. I can come there as well? Absolutely. I'm going to

have a very full year next year! I will be back with your first

question in a moment. Nathalie, darling girl, you find yourself in

the Red Area. One question - this is not multiple choice - please find me

the right answer. Ready? I'm ready. Which cyclist was stripped of his

seven Tour de France titles in 2012? Do you remember that? I do. It was a

scandal. I am trying to remember his name. You trying to picture him? I

am. I remember he went on a talkshow and was talking about it. Oprah, or

something, I think. Are you going to give me a name?

I can't think... Are you going to pass? Yes. I know you know this one.

I do. So, the answer I'm looking for is Lance Armstrong. Nathalie, please

make your way back to where you started. Thank you.

That is a tough break. OK. Are you ready? Ready. Here is your first

question: Oh, Dale. There is one that's just

shouting out to me a little bit. Which is? Hindi. OK. I will have a

stab in the dark and I will guess Hindi. Would you like me to take

take that as your answer? I would. I have accepted Hindi. Is it right?

Tongan. I'm so sorry. Please make your way to Red.

OK. So, Bradley has opened up Winners' Row. I have four over there

in the waiting area. One is about to join me. Here is where we find out

who it is going to be. Hello, Phil. You are going to

high-five me? There you go. Come and sit down. Oh, you are very down with

the kids then! Not when you think what my age is! Do you mind me

telling them hoe old you are? -- How old you are? 80 this weekend. Is

your lovely lady here with you? She is. I know how old she is. You look

so young and beautiful. How long have you been married? 55 years.

That is wonderful. Was it you that never lets your wife go out alone or

is it the other way around? The other way around. Does she keep an

eye on you? Is she worried you are going to go off? You never know! You

a naughty boy? Not really. Listen, how much money do you want to go

home with tonight? Whatever I can get, I'm not putting a price on it.

My wife is making a surprise party. She is making a surprise party? And

giving me the bill, that is the surprise! I was confused, a surprise

party and you know about it? She said I'm making a party for 80 and

the surprise will be when you get the bill! If you won ?50,000 what

would you do? Make a bigger party. Really? We have had cruises, help

the family out, help people out. This and that. I have come to enjoy

myself. If you win, you win, if you don't, you don't. You are the one

person I have always wanted to meet. Bless your heart. It is so nice to

meet you, too. You are a sweetheart. Well, you can relax for a minute.

You are only here because Bradley got the answer wrong. I will get him

out of the Red Area and I will be back with your first question in a

moment. Bradley. The wheels have come off the wagon and here you are

in the Red Area. You know how it works. One question. This isn't

multiple choice. You ready? I'm ready. Here is your Red Area

question: OK. Siberia, I think, is in Russia,

and Russia is in Asia. So, I would like to have a guess at Asia. You

have worked out some logic there and you seem very confident. If it is

Asia, you are going back in Winners' Row. Is it Asia? Yes, well done.

Come on back. So, here we go with your first question. You ready?

Willing and able. I wish you luck. Here is your question:

I think it sounds something to do with Scotland. I'll take a chance on

Scotland. Would you like me to take that as your answer? Yes, take pot

luck. I have accepted Scotland. If it is right, we will have ?25,000 in

there. Is it Scotland? Yes, lovely. I think he knew! Here is your

question: Ooh, I know the peso is the unit of

currency in Mexico. Dollars are quite a worldwide thing. But one

that is just inching its way to me is the escudo. It sounds South

American. I will guess escudo. Would you like me to take that as your

answer? Yes, please. I have accepted that. If it is right, 30 grand. Is

it right? It's peso. Oh, I'm so sorry. For now, please, make your

way to Red. OK. We have another free seat. Three

people in the waiting area. All anxious for the chance to come over

and have a go at the cash. Here is where we find out who it is going to

be. Hello, darling. Hello, Dale. Look at

you. Give us a spin round. Beautiful. Come and sit down,

Nicola. You look ever so excited? I am. Who did you bring with you? I

brought my dad and my oldest friend. Hello. Good to see you. How much

money would you like? ?100,000. Nothing wrong with that. I love it

when people are so definite and they go, "I want 100 grand." Does that

mean you have spent it already? Kind of. I have lots of things I want to

do. I'm on maternity leave because I have a little baby. I would like to

extend my maternity leave. I would like to maybe go to Vegas and slip

in an Elvis-themed wedding, you never know, have a big party for my

40th... Would you really do that? I would. Not sure about my boyfriend,

other half. You would like to extend the maternity leave. What do you do?

Online editor for a large property company. What does that mean? You do

the adverts? I write about properties. I'm nosey. Basically,

you have a way with words? Yes, I do like writing, I like writing poetry

and I have written a ditty today. You have? I have secured here. Oh!

You have written it down? Yes. Just a ditty I wrote about today, in

Winners' Row I hope and pray is where I am going to stay, please let

me get the questions right, I sure don't want to fail. If I do, all is

not lost because I met my darling Dale. Thank you so much. That is

lovely. Listen, you don't have to do a thing. You are only here because

Bradley got it wrong. We will get him out of there and back on

Winners' Row. Bradley, haven't we been here before? I think so. 25

grand in the prize fund. You want to get back and stake your claim on

your share? I do. Ready? Ready. Let's see the question:

I think it is Kylie Minogue. Would you like me to take that as your

answer? Yes, please. Is that right? Yes! Come on. Back you come to

Winners' Row. You can put another five grand in

right now. So your poem said? I will try my best. Here is your first

question: I think I know this one. I feel

quite confident about it. I would like to say Rihanna. Would you like

me to take that as your answer? Yes, please. Is it Rihanna? Yes, well

done. Good. Phil, would you have liked that one? No! OK, here is

where we can put another five grand in. Here is your next question:

I haven't got a clue. I don't do a lot of reading. I will take pot luck

and Hening Mankell. OK. Any reason? No, pot luck. OK, Phil says Henning

Mankell. Is that the right answer? No. It was pot luck, you said.

That's it. You will be back. For now, please make your way to Red.

OK. Here is your next question, Bradley:

Politics, Dale. Not a great subject of mine. It's not George Osborne, I

think I can safely put that one-to-one side. -- put that one to

one side. Chris Huhne? Can I have a guess at Jonathan Aitken? You may do

as you please. Are you saying you would like me to accept that as your

answer? Yes, please. Jonathan Aitken, I have taken that. We have

an arrangement. If that is right, 35 grand. To be honest with you, you

have been backwards and forwards and haven't put any money in yet. Is it

Jonathan Aitken? Chris Huhne. Please make your way and join Phil in Red.

Nathalie and Niall are hoping to join me in Winners' Row. One of them

is about to do just that. Here is where we find out who it is going to

be. It's green and Niall. Come and make

some money. Hi, Niall. Good to see you. Come and take a seat. Well, I

bet you thought it was never going to happen? I must admit, I was

getting a bit nervous over there. Who did you bring with you? My wife

and my dad. Good to see you. What do you do for a living? Accountant. I

work in a large firm in Belfast. How much would you like to go home with?

I would like to go home with ?50,000. My wife is expecting our

second child. I have one daughter at home. She is 16 months. Our next one

is on the way. There's a lot of things to be bought. My wife also

has her eye on an eternity ring. She said seeing this is the second kid,

I'm overdue at giving her an eternity ring. We might have to

spend a few pounds on that. I know you will add to that prize fund, but

not just yet. Look at that, two of them sitting there. We have to get

them back here. I will be back with you in a moment. Boys, Bradley, this

is your third trip? It is. Phil, I don't know. Listen, you guys conifer

because it is -- confer because it is all-or-nothing. All for one and

one for all. I want you to be happy with the same answer. I hope you

like the question. Here is your Red Area question:

What do you reckon? When I first saw the question I was a bit struck, but

having thought about it, I don't know if Phil agrees, I think they

are types of cloud formation. They all have very long names like that.

They all seem to end... Very good. He is very good. If Phil is happy

with that? I am. More than happy with that. For the man that hasn't

given me a correct answer yes! -- yet! What are you saying? I second

him. OK. Cloud formations. It is a matter of trust. I would have said

the same thing. The answer I'm looking for are clouds. Is that

right? Yes! Come on back to Winners' Row.

Good trusting there. That's great. So we have 30 grand in the prize

fund. Nathalie, I'm so sorry, darling, you are all alone over

there. You never know, but you are not going to go wrong, are you?

Hopefully not. Here is your question:

Whenever the name Stephen Hawking came up there was a thing that I had

in mind and it has appeared there on the list. He is an expert in

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

physics. If that is right, will have another -- we will have another five

grand in there. Yes! Here is your question:

Dale, initially I thought Elton John. Or Ben Elton? Ben Elton? Ben

Elton is usually a comedy. Billy Elliot is not a comedy. It is

light-hearted. I will stick with Elton John. Are you saying you would

like me to take that as your answer? Yes, Dale. OK. I accept Elton John.

If that is right, we will have 40 grand in the prize fund. Is it Elton

John? Yes. Well done. Phil, hopefully, you can make it ?45,000.

Here is your question: Montmartre is for painters.

Saint-Michel. Phil says Saint-Michel? Is it? Montmartre.

Never mind. Please make your way to Red.

Nathalie, you know what that means. You will be back. Bradley, please

save your reputation and put five grand in. Here is your question:

The period of the First World War falls between those two dates and I

seem to remember the poster of Your Country Needs You and that was

George V. I would like to have a guess at George V. Would you like me

to take that as your answer? Yes, please. I accept George V. Is that

the right answer? Yes! Well done. Well done. 45 grand. Guess what,

Nathalie, welcome back! Come on. It seems forever since you

were sitting here. I know. I have missed you. I missed you, too. How

are you feeling? Bit shaky. Relieved. You know why you are here.

We have Phil in the Red Area. I have to get him out and back in Winners'

Row. Then I will be back with your next question. Phil, it is not

supposed to be like this. I know. OK. I will give you the question.

This isn't multiple choice. Find me the right answer. You ready? Yes.

Phil, here is your question: Dad's Army. Are you saying you would

like me to accept that as your answer? Yes. I accept Dad's Army. Is

that the right answer? It was Fawlty Towers. Sorry, Phil. Make your way

back to where you started. Never mind. OK.

The klaxon has sounded. That means only one thing, that prize fund is

set at 45 grand. You are all in the right place. Each of you, if you

give me the correct answer, will go home with a share of ?11,250. You

cut it fine. Which means you can relax. You are one question away

from that cash. I now have to break the news to Phil. I'm really sorry.

But bad timing, the klaxon has gone, and I have to say good night. Phil,

have a safe journey home. Thank you. Good night.

Relax. Take it easy. I will be back with that question.

It's been a strange evening. Our players have to hold their nerve for

a few minutes until they find out if they are going to be a winner.

However, here is your chance to win a fortune in tonight's Thunderball

draw from the National Lottery. Best of British, everyone!

Hello, everyone. Welcome to Lottery HQ. That's almost a full house in

Winners' Row, except for poor Phil. Let's see how the others fare in the

final round. OK, there's still many more winners to be made this weekend

and hopefully, you will be one of them. Thunderball is moments away

and hot on its heels is the Lotto and the Lotto Raffle. Also here, are

two friends, Terry Roberts and Mike Williams, of the Valley Boys

Syndicate. They will be telling us what they have been up to since. It

is time for Thunderball right now. Start up that first machine, if you

would? Tonight's draws are being overseen by an independent

adjudicator. Over ?2.5 million has been paid out

in prizes over the last week. Thank you very much. Tickets at the

ready and good luck. 39 balls to pick from in this first

machine. Three opportunities per week to play the game itself -

Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. 11. Excellent. Here is another one.

This time, it is 26. Finally, from this our first machine. How about

that one there, 16? Brilliant. Start up the second machine now, Matt. So

we have our five main numbers. What is the all-important Thunderball?

Let's find out. Every ticket is still in play. If you match with the

next and final ball, you will win a cash prize and if you have already

matched all the other numbers, the prize will be the top prize of

?500,000s. Here we go. Number 5. So, here are tonight's Thunderball

numbers in ascending order: We will be back soon with tonight's

big Lotto Draw together with two lucky jackpot winners. First, it is

over to Dale and In It To Win It. See you shortly.

Welcome back. A few minutes ago, these four people all helped put 45

grand in the prize fund, which means they are each looking at a share of

?11,250 and they are only one question away from that cash.

Nathalie, there's a lot riding on this. Yes. I'm going on holiday to

Mexico. If not, I will go to New York! It is win-win for me. I'm only

teasing. I want you to go to Mexico. I want you to have everything you

want. As you look at that 45 grand, you are first cab off the rank which

means if you give me a correct answer, at that point, the minimum

you are going home with is ?11,250, depend what is the rest of the

players do. OK. For the last question of the night, are you

ready? I'm ready. I wish you the best. Thank you. Here is your

question: I don't know. I don't know. I think

Plan B. Would y like me to take Plan B as your answer? Yes. OK. You have

said Plan B. I accept it. I hope you are right. Let's have a look. Please

tell me. Yes! That means you are going home with a

minimum of ?11,250. You can relax. Let's see how the others do. OK. Are

you ready? I am. What have you done tonight? You have put five grand in?

I have. Here is where you could go home with ?11,250. This is your last

question of the night. You ready? I am. Let's have a look at your

question: The head? Full steam ahead... That's

the only logical thing I can pull out of that. Oh dear me. I will have

a stab in the dark, Dale. It will be compass. Would you like me to take

that as your answer? Yes, Dale. OK. I have accepted compass. If that is

right, you have just done a Nathalie and banked ?11,250. Is the answer

compass? It's toilet. Oh, I'm so sorry. It's been lovely to meet you.

Good luck with the new baby. Thank you very much.

You see what's just happened? It's gone up. Minimum ?15,000 you are

going home with tonight. Nicola, you have had a good night. You have put

in ten grand. Not too bad. You are now playing for 15 grand. Here is

your last question of the night. You ready? Ready as I'll ever be. I wish

you luck. Let's have a look at the question:

Dale, I have no idea. 18th and 19th are both calling out to me. I don't

know. I really don't know. It will be a complete guess. OK. I will go

for 18th. That is the first thing I saw. Would you like me to take that

as your answer? Not sure. Erm... Now I'm going for 20th. I really don't

know. I will guess it as the 18th. Would you like me to take 18th as

your answer? Yes. I have accepted 18th. If that is right, your minimum

share is 15 grand. Is it the 18th? It's the 20th. Oh. I'm so sorry. I

have to say good night. Thank you. Good night, darling.

Nathalie, have you looked? ?22,500 at the moment. Yes!

What you go home with has a lot to do with what Nathalie goes home

with, there's only two of you here. You are playing for ?22,500 now. You

ready? Ready. Here is the last question of the night. This is what

it is all about for you. Let's look at your question:

Crikey. Eccles cake is the only one I have heard of there. Bedfordshire

clanger? Suffolk Punch? It's going to have to be a guess, Dale. And the

one that I am being drawn to is Suffolk Punch. OK. Would you like me

to take that as your answer? Yes. I haven't got a clue. It is... It's a

complete guess. I is accepted Suffolk Punch. If that is right, you

are going to do the same as Nathalie and go home with ?22,500. If it is

wrong, Nathalie is leaving with ?45,000. Tell me it is Suffolk

Punch! It's the Bedfordshire Clanger. I'm so sorry. I wish you

well. Have a safe journey home. Good night.

OK. Well, who knew? You sat there all night, you put 20 grand in and

casual as you please, turned up for the last round, and I'm about to

give you a cheque for ?45,000. I can't believe it. I will be back

with your cheque very soon. Well done.

What a great night on In It To Win It. Now, a question for you - are

you going to be celebrating with a huge cash win, too? There is a

fortune up for grabs in the big Saturday night Lotto Draw. Best of

luck, everyone! Thanks, Dale. There was one winner,

huge congratulations, Nathalie. Now, tonight's big Lotto Draw is almost

upon us. Here to pass on some of their luck are two fortunate fellas

from the Rhondda Valley who, around this time a few years ago, became

millionaires after their syndicate won more than ?4 million. They have

been on plenty of adventures since. They are here to give you some ideas

of what you can do if you win big tonight, Terry and Mike, welcome.

Good to see you. Everyone at home is clutching their tickets, thinking oh

my goodness. What was it like to see the numbers come up and to win? You

are numb for the first couple of hours. Are you? Your appetite

disappears for the week. It comes back. You probably don't need to

eat, you have money in the bank. What have you been doing to

celebrate? We went to New Zealand for the Rugby World Cup, the British

Lions, then we dressed up as the Mario Brothers, and went on tour

around Europe. What made you do that? Raise money for charity.

Fantastic. Of course, these are things you could have never dreamt

of doing before? No, they were pipe dreams before. Brilliant. You are

doubly lucky. Lightning has struck twice for you? My partner won

?57,000 on the Lottery. She had not played before? No. My goodness! So

she was your girlfriend then. Now she is your fiance? Yes. You are not

daft. You got down on one knee pretty quickly. It is fantastic. You

ready to pass on some of that luck now? Yes. Brilliant. Let's get

straight to it. Here is Lotto. OK, let's release those weekend

balls. Tonight's jackpot is ?34. -- ?4.3 million.

Thank you, Alan. Over to you Terry and Mike. Get that good luck out

there. Good luck, everyone. Good luck. Well done. Off we go. 17. That

was drawn the weekend before last. Next is 23. Here is the next one.

That is 22. We saw that the Saturday before last. Fourth to be drawn

tonight. Out pops 36. Here is the fifth one. That is 33. This is 42.

Hope that worked for you. Finally, this weekend's bonus. It is No. 12.

Millionaires' Row looks like this: Thank you Terry and Mike. If you

have won big tonight, perhaps you would like to come on the show and

pass on some of your luck. Remember, check your tickets to see if you

have won one of the 50 Lotto Raffle prizes tonight. You can check by

going to bbc.co.uk/lottery. Early indications show the area of the UK

with the most Lotto Raffle winners tonight is Yorkshire and Humber. You

can also watch this week's Lotto, Thunderball and EuroMillions draws

by visiting the website. I am back with you next week. In the meantime,

it is back over to Dale and In It To Win It. Do have yourselves a really

great weekend. Goodbye for now. See you soon.

Well, my work is done. All I have to do is hand over the cheque to

Nathalie. Well done. So, I was thinking mid-July? Sounds good to

me. I could do August. ?45,000. Well done, darling. Well done. Thank you.

Well, it's been fun tonight. I hope you have enjoyed watching In It To

Win It. Here is a thought, come back and see us again soon. Until then,

have a good night. I bet she wasn't expecting that as the outcome. Well

done, Nathalie, and congratulations. Tonight's Thunderball and winning

Lotto numbers are on-screen now. Casualty is next here on BBC One.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend. From all of us at Lottery HQ, have a very

good night. Make sure you join me

revealing questions.
