Episode 6 The National Lottery: In It to Win It

It is the -- it with inmates to win it. This

OK. Thank you.

We are here tonight and we are all In It To Win It.

Is this the night you have been waiting for?

At home, are you going to win a fortune in the lottery draws?

And are our five players here in the studio going home

They are already smiling because they know there is 100

Here they are, they are Ian, Simone, Hedley, Gail, and Ben.

If they make it over there and stay there until the klaxon sounds,

they are in with a chance to win the cash.

I guess that means you're happy to be here.

I have brought my mother Sharon and my beautiful wife Joanne.

Mum is a bit of all right, isn't she?

Do you specialise in any particular type of design?

But any type of graphic design, really.

You are only here once, so 100,000 would be lovely.

Me and my wife are expecting our first child in a few months.

?100,000 would be fantastic, just to give the child

We're going to have a tough time over the next few months so it

would be lovely to take the wife away.

Anyway, you're here, you are In It To Win It.

Having secured the best seat in the house, you know

where you do not want to be going, the Red Area.

One question, it will not be multiple choice, back

here to Winners' Row, right back there to

Let's have a look at your first question.

OK, a fairly good one to start, I think, for me.

I remember as a youngster playing a computer game with a gecko in it.

I always remember that he was a lizard.

I think lizard is the answer, Dale.

Would you like me to take lizard?

OK, it is not a show that I have seen myself,

but I think I have seen one advert for the show once and I am pretty

sure it was Peter Kay who was in the commercial.

I'm going to have to say Peter Kay, Dale.

It is a good show, it is really good.

For another ?5,000, is it Peter Kay?

Witney, Oxfordshire, Doncaster North.

I am pretty sure it was Sheffield Hallam.

I think that would be my answer, Dale, please.

Am I to take Sheffield Hallam as your answer?

I will accept Sheffield Hallam as your answer.

If you're right, that is another five grand,

Please make your way to Red.

Ben put ten grand in, which means he is now in Red.

It opens up Winners' Row to one more player.

A big butch man like you and they give you a

There is my gorgeous wife Pamela and my friend Willie.

Mostly GCSE kids, so 14, 15, 16 years.

The patience of a saint you must have.

I do not think there is anything wrong with saying that,

I have friends in Australia and it would be great to take the family

You would like to travel, by the sounds of it?

Let's hope you keep the travelling to a minimum, in other words,

You're only sitting there because Ben got the answer wrong.

Let's see we can get him out of the Red Area?

One question, this will not be multiple choice.

What you need to do is find me the right answer.

This must have been on the front page of every newspaper.

Yes, I am pretty sure it is Chris Evans, Dale.

OK, would you like me to take Chris Evans?

There are two of you sitting here in Winners' Row.

If the klaxon went now, and it won't, you're looking

Not enough to do half the things you want so we can make it 15 grand.

Let's see the first question for Ian.

I remember doing Julius Caesar at school and I do not think

it is Julius Caesar, so it is one of the other two.

Is that going to be a surprise to you if that is right.

You're giving me that and I have accepted it.

Yes, I would not say I am the biggest cricket fan

in the world, but I'm interested in most sports.

I did dip into the cricket World Cup when it was on and I know

the final was between Australia and New Zealand.

You're saying that with a certain amount of confidence.

I am pretty sure, 99.9%, I would say.

I accept Australia, If you're right that 20 grand will look very nice.

Is it Australia?

OK. You two are doing very well.

I am trying to think of the population of the UK.

Would everybody drink two cups of tea a day?

I know in school I would drink about six!

Would you like me to accept 165 million?

I have accepted 165, Ian.

Here is your next question for another five.

I do not think it is 2002, so it has got to be

I am not sure, but I'm going to go for it and I'm going to say '82,

OK, so far tonight you have put ten grand in.

This has been on the media quite a lot, Dale.

The story has been all over the news.

If it is right, 35 grand, that would be lovely.

If you get this next one right that would make the 35 40 grand.

There are two of you in Winners' Row and if the klaxon went

However, you've got to get the next one right.

Not really, Dale, I am not down with the most recent.

You're not down with the music.

On that note, being a fairly modern song, I think I would be inclined

Would you like me to take One Direction as your answer?

How confident are you, on a scale of one

Ian, there is 20 grand apiece at the moment because there is 40

Come on, let's see your next question, making it ?45,000.

This is going to be a complete guess.

My daughter Anna has a pig, and she calls it Zoe.

On that basis, I'm going to go for Zoe.

Would you like me to take Zoe as your answer?

Please make your way to Red.

OK. You know what this means.

One of you, for sure, is going to join me here.

But not until Ben has put another five grand in the prize fund.

Really, with Hypnos, hypnotherapy, I would gravitate

Would you like me to accept sleep as your answer?

If you're right, you've dodged a bullet, you're

staying in Winners' Row, and you have put

However, two beauties and a smart fellow.

At last, no offence, fellas, but a bit of glamour.

I am with my sister Tina and my friend Gisele.

Beautiful, lovely to see those girls up there.

I would like a deposit on a house or a flat.

I'm a sales consultant for a financial company.

Listen, you can relax, you're only here because, oh,

I will be back with your first question.

Meanwhile, I have to get him out of the Red Area to join you.

I can't guarantee that the next question

will be as easy as the Top Gear question that Ben got.

I'm not really a techno person, you can tell

that from getting the last question wrong,

Would you like me to take "application" as your answer?

If it is right, you are back in Winners' Row.

Right, we have got 45 grand in there.

Split three ways, that is 15 grand apiece.

And he was pretty good in the World Cup.

I think he is quite new, so I am not sure if he has

scored that many, but again, he could be well-known because he is

I think I'm going to go for Harry Kane.

Would you like me to accept Harry Kane as your answer?

Please, for now, make your way to red.

Please, for now, make your way to Red.

Hedley, Gail, one of you will be sitting here.

Not until you have given me some more correct answers

Let's have a look at your next question.

Musicals, definitely not my thing, Dale.

And I think I am going to have to say Into The Woods,

purely because Little Red Riding Hood went into the woods.

Cinderella, let's pretend she went into the woods.

And Rapunzel, let's say she went with Cinderella.

If it's right, there will be another five grand in there, making

I'd have guessed for the same reasons.

Let's have a look at your next question.

Again, I am just going to have to have a guess.

There are two Helens, so why not go for a Helen?

You make me laugh, you do make me laugh.

Would you like me to take Helen Macdonald as your answer?

Helen Macdonald will have to do, Dale.

Which means, Gail and Hedley, one of you is about to join

Actually, spare a thought for Hedley.

My husband, Nick, and my daughter, Rosie.

Lovely to see you. What do you do for a living?

I'm a regional manager for a large bank and I work in changing

everything around, so we are truly customer centric.

You are used to saying that, aren't you?

That is one of those things when you call, and

Really, it would be nice to have 50,000.

I love buying presents, so there will be some nice

OK, well, listen, Gail, I wish you luck.

You are only here because Simone got it wrong, but

listen, I'm going to get her out of the Red Area.

Your first question won't be until she is back in

The only person I can think of would be the Queen.

I am going to go for it, I'm going to go for

Are you saying you would like me to accept the Queen as your

If it is right, you are back in Winners' Row.

Get back in Winners' Row and we will put some more

You chose a fine time to join me, 55 grand in

the prize fund, but I think we can make it a lot more.

It is a high price game tonight, it is good.

It is going to be a guess, and I'm going to go for 90%.

Would you like me to take 90% as your answer?

If that is right, another five grand.

For now, please make your way to Red.

Hedley, you know you will be coming over once I got this round at the

I got this round out the way, so get ready.

You have had a good night, you've put in 35 grand,

you've been the biggest money player so far.

OK, my first instinct before the options came

out came out, so that's a good start.

So which country are you talking about?

And as Egypt kind of borders the two, I'm pretty much almost

OK, would you like me to accept Egypt as

Accepted, locked in. Is it Egypt?

You've put 20 grand so far, you've done well.

Let's keep you in Winners' Row.

Given the fact I hope he is an English actor,

I think he is an English actor, I will go for Oliver Cromwell.

Would you like me to take Oliver Cromwell as

I'm assuming that when you said I'd assume he's English, you

meant not Napoleon, is that what you are saying, with him

For another five grand and the chance to stay in

Please go and join Gail in the Red Area.

Two in my Red Area, Hedley about to come and join us.

And you have yet to give me a correct answer,

You are, you are going to put another five grand in there.

In other words, who would be the eldest?

OK, so I know Bruno, he used to do music videos

for Elton John back in the day,

so he has been around for a little while.

Darcey Bussell, ballet dancer, I know she has been around

Craig Revel Horwood, I don't know much about him.

I think I'm going to go with my gut, which is Bruno.

Would you like me to take Bruno Tonioli as your answer?

If it's right, you're here, another five grand a 65 grand.

Good to see you, how are you?

You know, I had a feeling that you were going to

play the long game, let them do all the work and then join me

and just maybe answer a couple of questions.

I had the feeling I was going to be here right at the end of the show

because everybody has got a chance, which is great.

50-60,000 would be very nice, very acceptable.

My wife has had an awful lot of ill-health over her life

and I would love to take her on the Canadian railway,

And of course, I have got two daughters who have both

They have both got mortgages and my wife and I support two or

three favourite charities, which I'm sure would benefit from it.

But you don't have to do anything right now.

We have got to get Gail and Ian out of the Red Area and back here.

You have to agree on the same, fingers crossed, correct answer.

Shall I reveal your Red Area question?

I have to ask, did either of you ever see the movie?

but I really haven't got a clue.

Do you know any other actors we could go for?

So what is your answer you are both happy with?

Are we going with Michael Keaton or are we

We know it's not Hugh Jackman, though.

I don't think it's Michael Keaton either,

to be honest with you, but I haven't got anything.

Looks like Michael Keaton, but we are not

If that is right, you are both going back to Winners' Row.

KLAXON Oh!

Ooh, you cut it fine, you cut fine, you do.

That means, when you look at that prize fund, 65 grand,

if you each give me the correct and so, you are each

if you each give me the correct answer, you are each

going home with your share, which will be

One question separates you from your share of that prize fund.

It is kind of all or nothing for you guys.

I will be back with that question very shortly.

Wasn't expecting that result in the Red Area, good job.

So our players need to hold their nerves

for a few minutes before they find out

if they are going to be a winner tonight.

However, I would love you to be a winner and win a

fortune tonight yourselves in the Thunderball draw

Welcome to the National Lottery Live!

Two big money draws coming up for you very soon,

including the Lotto draw, which has a rollover

Tonight's guests have had five top ten hits,

opened for Will Young and Jessie J, and toured with Robbie Williams.

In their latest video, lead singer Andy Brown

is preparing to pop the question to his unsuspecting girlfriend.

# My love goes out of the door and into the street. # that is Where My

Love Goes. Good to see you. This was real,

wasn't it? This was not something you set up for the purposes of the

video? 100% real. I'm engaged, I cannot believe it. She said yes?

Yes, it is all good. I think we can see the moment where she finally

says yes. What did you think of the idea? We suggested it. We knew he

was ready to pop the question. We had a video coming up. It is a

rheumatic song. It is a love story really. We suggested it. She was

like, what are you doing? It could have gone horribly wrong. You could

have set him up for a fall. He has set us up for a fall before. She was

pointing wedding magazines around the house I knew wanted it. You have

got your second album coming out, called Kallis perspective. That must

be exciting. It is exciting. We went to Nashville and spent time out

there, writing and recording it. It is available for pre-order.

We'll talk more in just a few minutes, but let's get started

Start up both machines, please, Julie!

Our draw master tonight is Julie Hamilton and the draws

are being overseen by an independent adjudicator.

Excalibur and set of balls five were selected earlier on by Graham Ball

who is from Walton on Thames. In the last week over

?2.8 million has been paid out Right, time to push the button

for tonight's first draw. There is a total of 39 balls to pick

from in the first machine. All you have to do is choose five. Three

opportunities per week to play begin, Wednesday, Friday and

Saturday. There is even a prize for managing just the Thunderball

itself. Finally, from the first machine.

Let's concern ourselves with the Thunderball. There are 14 inside the

second machine. A top prize of half a million. This could make a big

difference to what you win. Still to come, this Saturday's Lotto

draw with a rollover jackpot of ?19.7 million

and Millionaire Raffle, too. Now it's back to Dale

with In It To Win It. A few minutes ago, these five

people helped put 65 grand in the prize fund,

which means they are each looking I say one question away,

this will be your one That's the way it is in

life sometimes. A palindrome is something

which if you say it backwards it Polyglot means a lot

of something or other. I will be a devil,

I will go for pangram. Very casually, you

said that. If it is right it is worth

at least 13 grand to you. You've just won

a minimum of 13 grand. You're right, palindrome

is back to front. I think a polyglot is someone that

can write in many languages. I do not know where you got pangram

from but it is right. So far tonight you have been

the best player in terms Here is your last

question of the night. They may have helped

with the effort on this side. Malta, I know there

was a Maltese cross. I think the George Cross is given

out by people from this country. So I'm going to have

to go for Jersey. Are you saying you would like me

to accept Jersey as your answer? Out of those three, yes,

I think I will have More than anyone you have earned

the right to be here because you put the most money in the prize fund,

however, right now you're playing and banking on winning

a minimum of 13 grand, Is it the right

answer? I think what threw you

was the Maltese cross. I am sorry, it has been

lovely to meet you. I hope it all goes well

with the baby. I feel sorry for him,

but what happens with you is just now you're on a minimum of 13 grand,

because Ben lost that round, you are now going home

with a minimum of 16,250. Anacondas, I remember

there was a film about anacondas. I am trying to remember

where they were in the film. That would give me an idea

as to where it might be. Is that the answer you would

like me to accept? If that is right, the minimum you're

going home with tonight is 16,250. Is it South

America? You're going home

with a minimum of that. Michael Keaton got

you here. You did not get yourself

here with the correct answer for money, but you gave me a right

answer when you needed to. More than ever you

need to right now. Let's do it, let's have

a look at your question. My logic will be that I'm probably

going to go with the one where there is rather a large

suspension bridge over it. On that basis, I think it must be

a big river. I am going to have to guess,

sadly, at the Severn. Are you saying you

would like me to take Let's have a look at your question

and the last question of the night. When the "premier" came up,

I was hoping it would be something about "first", but nothing else,

but we have got three firsts. I am really stumped with this

one, really stumped. Would you like me to accept first

press as your answer? I will have to go with my gut

and stick with first press. If that is indeed the correct

answer, and I truly do not know, If it is wrong, they are each

going home with north of 20K. I do not want that to happen

because you have earned Much as I would love to give them 20

grand plus, I would like to It is bad enough we have

lost one already. For ?16,250, please

tell me premier cru I am sorry it did not

work out in the end. I've got to come back with a cheque

for each of you for ?21,666. It has been a rollercoaster tonight,

but it has been fabulous Will you be celebrating

a huge cash win as well? There is a fortune up for grabs now

in the big Saturday night The Lotto rollover draw

and Millonaire Raffle are coming up, All three quarters of loss. What

have you done with Adam? We do not need them, basically. -- Lawson. We

have been saying it for years. The single is out and doing well. The

second album is coming out, that is traditionally quite tricky. What did

you do for inspiration? Anything, we listened to a lot of older stuff,

lots of Phil Collins and Genesis. Every time we say to people, they

say, really. Big drum sounds, we have tried to emulate that. Being in

Nashville is inspiring. There are amazing musicians. It encourages you

to better yourself. I feel like we have done that. I know that Robbie

Williams has been your idle for a long time. You got to perform with

him? It was weird. We did a couple of songs with him. It started with

one, but then we did back for a good and Angels. It was like the ultimate

karaoke, because he was there. We were take-down for the night. His

band appeared and you played with them? Yes, I was Gary for that one

moment. So the album is out on July the aid? Yes, you can pre-order now.

We are very excited. This is the Lotto.

Remember, there are even more chances to become a millionaire now.

We are using Merlin and set of balls seven.

More than ?11 million has been won on Lotto and Millionaire Raffle

Congratulations to you if you were a winner!
