05/12/2015 The National Lottery Live

Hi there. Good evening. Hope you are well. Welcome to the National

Lottery live. The Thunderball and Lotto draws are coming up and get

this, tonight's Lotto is worth an estimated ?20 million! Wow! I know.

So, our special guests song-write and sing with a unique style of

musical wit and wisdom. They are Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott.

# If I saw your face # It wouldn't compensate

# That's right. Paul and Jacqui will

be here soon. Let's get started with the Thunderball.

OK, Jeff, start up those machines, please. Our drawmaster tonight is

Jeff Brewin. The draws are overseen by an independent adjudicator.

There have been over 455,000 winning tickets on Thunderball this past

like week. Well done if you were a winner. Off we go. The first one

tonight: A total of 39 to pick from in this

machine. You choose five. Three opportunities a week to play this

game, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.

There is even a prize for just watching the Thunderball itself.

So, let's draw the Thunderball itself now. There are 14 of those

inside our second machine. We will draw one of them.

Jeff, you know what to do! This could be a big difference to what

you win. There are 14 in there. It's number 10. Here are tonight's

Thunderball numbers: Alan, nicely done, thank you very

much. The Lotto draw coming up in a minute. Before that, let's meet

tonight's special guests, Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott were two

members of one of the most successful bands of the 90s, The

Beautiful South. They made a return in 2014 with a hugely successful

first album and now their second looks set to continue that winning

streak. # Although you make no sound

# I still hear you #6ft under grown but I still hear

you Snores I am the man who turns to...

Paul and Jacqui are here. Welcome back! Great to have you. I don't see

them, the second single off the second album since your return. Tell

us about it. It's out now. It's out now, yeah. It was the video there, I

am dressed up as a fisherman in Scarborough. You look good, buddy.

If you can look good as a fisherman, yeah. Go on. It's a new single.

Yeah, as you say, it's out now and with the album it's a lot of fun. It

is really great to have you guys back together again. Tell us about

how it is that you did become one all those years ago. A long time ago

when we first started we met by accident and kind of got together

again this time around via social media of all things, I got a late

night response from him on Facebook just late at night. It was, would

you like to start singing again? It was a definite, it was great. It's

been a musical romance since. You have said lovely things about her,

Paul. Sort of lovely, yeah, I compared her to an old Rolls-Royce

in terms of something left in the garage that when you start it up

again it sounds and looks fantastic. Yeah, it's great, we love working

together. It's great. Next year looks set to be another big one, you

have the second album and you have sold out the Royal Albert Hall. It's

the last night of the tour, as well. We were chuffed to play it anyway,

but actually to sell it out, as well, yeah, it feels great. I am

sure fans are coming out of the woodwork all over the place with you

guys. You have a stalwart in Adele. That's right. We met her recently

and she announced to us we were her first ever gig. Maybe the reason

inspired to sing was seeing Jacqui. Or me. She's an inspiration or one

of you are, together you are. Guys, it's great to have you. Thank you.

Your moment is coming. Ready for this? We are ready. OK. They're

ready. It's time to go to work. Let's play Lotto.

OK, let's release those rollover balls. Remember, there are even more

chances to become a millionaire now. Here's tonight's Lotto jackpot!

It's the biggest jackpot in ten years, an estimated ?20 million. And

thanks we are using Arthur and with it the set of balls number three.

More than ?17 million in prizes have been won on Lotto and the

Millionaire Raffle in the last week, congratulations if you were a

winner. Thank you, Alan. Paul and Jacqui, a lot of money and

responsibility. Time to do your thing. Good luck everyone.

Excellent. We are off and running. The first one is about to appear.

Millionaires' Row this Saturday night looks like this:

Alan, the big money winning doesn't end there. You could be a lucky

winner in tonight's Millionaire Raffle.
