01/03/2014 The National Lottery Live

Hello everyone. Welcome to the National Lottery Live. And a very

happy St David's Day to all of our Welsh viewers. OK, we're moments

away from the first of tonight's chances for you to become

significantly richer this Saturday night. First up, we have the

Thunderball draw, with a top prize of ?500,000. That's followed by the

opportunity to scoop a Lotto rollover jackpot of an amazing 5. .2

million, so make sure those tickets are close at hand. Yours might just

be the lucky one. Also, with this year's National Lottery Awards on

the horizon, we will tell you how to nominate projects that you feel have

made a difference to your local community. All of that still to

come, but first, there's just time to wish good luck to two National

Lottery funded films which are both up for Oscars at the Academy Awards.

Following its BAFTA award for Best Adapted Screenplay, tomorrow night

Philomena is up for four Oscars, including Best Picture, also the The

Invisible Woman is nominated in the category for Best Costume Design.

Best of luck to both films. Now about that ?500,000 top prize...

Here's Thunderball! OK then, start up those machines,

please. Our draw master is Julie Hamilton.

This week, there have been over 505,000 winning tickets on this

game. Mid-week one lucky ticket holder won the top prize,

congratulations, whoever you may be. Thank you Alan. One winner of the

top prize this week, is it your turn? Good luck. Let's hope so. Here

we go then, eyes down, look in. First one is about to appear, there

it is, that is number 22. Off to a good start. 39 balls to pick from in

this first machine. You choose five of them. There's 24. And there's

three opportunities per week to play this game, Wednesdays, Fridays and

Saturdays. The next is number eight. Next tonight, which is it to be?

There's the answer, that's Number Ten. We need just one more from our

first machine. Round and round they go. That's number 29. There we are

then, those are the five main numbers. Next we need the

all-important Thunderball. All tickets are still in play and you

can win a prize by matching with just the Thunderball alone. Best of

luck. A brand new month, how about a big helping of Thunderball cash.

It's lucky 13. So here are tonight's Thunderball numbers in ascending

order. Thank you very much, Alan. Did you

know that since the National Lottery began, you've helped to raise more

than ?31 billion for projects all over the UK. Every year to help

celebrate the difference that you make, the National Lottery Awards

pays tribute to the projects you think deserve special recognition.

Nominations are still open for this year's awards. Here's Allen with a

bit more information. The national lot ray wards are an

annual search to find the UK's favourite national funded projects.

They celebrate the talent and dedication behind the projects that

benefit people, places and communities across the whole of the

UK. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts from generating all those

votes. Thank you very much. Awards are given across seven categories,

reflecting the different types of projects funded. These are art,

education, environment, health, heritage, sport and charity

voluntary. How can you nominate? The easiest way so to head online to

bbc.co.uk/lottery and follow the links. You will be able to nominate

a project that you think deserves special recognition. It's free to

nominate and voting for all short listed projects will take place in

the summer. We got a phone call to say we'd been short listed. It was

worth the time and effort that we put into it. The winners in each

category will be invited to a star-studded awards event that will

be televised later this year on BBC One. The winners will receive a

?2,000 cash prize to spend on their pradge ect. -- project. It's

overwhelming to win this award. It means an awful lot to all of us,

thankthank you. S close at midnight on March 12. Thanks, Alan. Good luck

if you're entering. OK, I hope you're in the mood for winning big.
