:00:25. > :00:32.hello and welcome to the National Lottery live where tonight we prove
:00:33. > :00:37.it is never too late to learn. We have ladies and gentlemen from the
:00:38. > :00:47.Open Age project which is Lottery funded. First, Lotto tonight has an
:00:48. > :00:54.estimated jackpot of ?4.6 million. The Lotto raffle has 50 cash prizes
:00:55. > :01:00.of ?20,000. Plus in Thunderball this evening somebody could be taking
:01:01. > :01:13.over half ?1 million home. Let's get on with the mighty Lotto. Look at to
:01:14. > :01:26.draw master Julie. Look at her. How are you? I am good. Please release
:01:27. > :01:33.those balls. Is there an Alan in the house? There is. I can see we are
:01:34. > :01:41.all set and ready for tonight's Lotto draw. And the members of Open
:01:42. > :01:47.Age are passing on their messages to everybody tonight. We are using
:01:48. > :01:52.Guinevere and set of balls five. Five winning tickets shared
:01:53. > :01:58.Wednesday's double rollover each of them sharing over ?1.5 million. Get
:01:59. > :03:06.your tickets ready for tonight. Good luck, everyone.
:03:07. > :03:13.Thank you, Alan, and keep hold of your tickets because with every line
:03:14. > :03:19.of Lotto comes entry to the raffle, which has this week 50 prizes of
:03:20. > :03:24.?20,000. We will show you where the majority of those winning tickets
:03:25. > :03:30.are later on. But in the last five years alone ?526 million of Lottery
:03:31. > :03:35.funding has directly helped people over 60 to learn new skills,
:03:36. > :03:43.overcome isolation and improve their health and well-being. One of those
:03:44. > :03:50.groups is Open Age. Open Age is a user led charity that was set up 20
:03:51. > :03:54.years ago. We run 350 activities a week and we work with people aged 50
:03:55. > :04:01.plus to support them maintaining their health as they age. I wake up
:04:02. > :04:05.in the morning and think, it is Monday and it is singing, or, oh it
:04:06. > :04:12.is Tuesday and it is philosophy today. They help me every day of the
:04:13. > :04:18.week and I am doing some kind of activity. I am being taught how to
:04:19. > :04:24.use a computer, a mobile phone, Twitter. I have learnt it here. It
:04:25. > :04:31.makes it different, especially in my life. It changes people's lives a
:04:32. > :04:37.lot. I look forward to the classes and meeting my friends as well.
:04:38. > :04:44.There is no doubt at all that Open Age creates a circle for many people
:04:45. > :04:51.who would otherwise be quite isolated. Lovely film and lovely
:04:52. > :04:58.people and some of them are here tonight. Helen is in charge. Happy
:04:59. > :05:05.birthday today. Since 1996, what have the ground done for you? They
:05:06. > :05:09.have helped us develop a wonderful multi-activity centre for older
:05:10. > :05:15.people and the money provides for staffing and building costs and
:05:16. > :05:21.activities. It has provided vehicle activities from ballet classes to
:05:22. > :05:24.yoga classes. It helps keep older people active and healthy and we
:05:25. > :05:33.provide activities for over 1000 people each week. Well done, and
:05:34. > :05:37.Sonia, you take part in the classes. It has made a tremendous difference
:05:38. > :05:43.in my life and I have made wonderful friends and we go on holiday
:05:44. > :05:47.together. But now that I am 901I get a bit wobbly and I go to the steady
:05:48. > :05:57.and stable classes and they are wonderful. Why is it so important
:05:58. > :06:02.around December? This year with all the bills going up and the heating
:06:03. > :06:07.going up, I go out at ten o'clock in the morning and I put all my heating
:06:08. > :06:12.off and I come home at five o'clock. During that time I have wonderful
:06:13. > :06:18.activities provided by Open Age and I am truly and really happy about
:06:19. > :06:23.that. And you save money at the same time. If people want to get
:06:24. > :06:27.involved, how could they do that? They could go to the local library
:06:28. > :06:34.or ask the local council or health professionals. And you can go online
:06:35. > :06:45.to find out more. Right, let's get Thunderball in. Draw master Julie
:06:46. > :07:05.let's liven up the Thunderball. Earlier today Excalibur and set of
:07:06. > :08:15.balls six were chosen by Tash from Oxford.
:08:16. > :08:24.And fantastic drumming by Chris. Let's see where the majority of the
:08:25. > :08:35.raffle numbers are. Let's have a look at the map. It is pretty evenly
:08:36. > :08:42.spread. We do not have information if the jackpot is one. We do not
:08:43. > :08:48.have that information yet, but if not on Wednesday it will be ?6
:08:49. > :08:54.million. A big thank you to everyone at Open Age. You were great. The
:08:55. > :09:01.full results will be available later tonight on the red button or on the
:09:02. > :09:06.Lottery website. We will be back next Saturday. Until then, have a
:09:07. > :09:13.wonderful weekend. Let's have a quick burst of happy birthday. Happy
:09:14. > :09:17.birthday to you, happy birthday, dear Helen!
