13/08/2016 The National Lottery Live

Hello and welcome to The National Lottery Live.

Two big money draws are coming up very soon - Thunderball and Lotto.

Plus, we're a week into the Rio Olympics and we've seen some

astonishing performances from Team GB so far.

Ore Oduba has been speaking to one of Team GB's Gold medal winners,

diver Chris Mears, and he'll be pushing the Lotto button too -

Welcome back, Kate. OK, start up those machines, please, Julie, if

you would. Our draw master this Saturday night is Julie Hamilton.

The draws are overseen biep an independent adjudicator. Set of ball

seven were selected for us earlier. In the last week over ?3.9 million

has been paid out in Thunderball prizes with are mo than 485,000

winning tickets. Well done to you if you happened to be a winner. Let's

do it. Let's start the draw, please, Jules. Round and round they go.

Three opportunities to play this game, Wednesday, Thursday and

Fridays. Finally from this our first machine.

Do you have on your ticket, as part of your selection that one there,

number 12. Now to the Thunderballs themselves.

Let's draw one, please, Jules. Here we go. Let's take a closer look,

shall we. Up pops that one there. That is number nine. So here are

tonight's Thunderball numbers again, only this time in ascending order:

Now, Team GB have done a fantastic job out in Rio in week one,

with 9 Gold, 11 Silver and 6 Bronze won already!

Earlier, Ore spoke to one of those very happy medal winners.

Thank you. This is quite a moment for me. Alongside me is Great

Britain's Gold medallist in the 3m synchro diving, Chis Mears. Wow.

This has never been done before in diving. Show everyone at home your

wonderful piece of golden wear there. Were you aware that no-one

had ever won a diving Gold medal for Great Britain? Absolutely not. Not

at the time. I actually was informed afterwards when I was doing press

and media. Someone put a micro in my face, you are the person to win an

Olympic title, Gold medal. I was like, really? That amazing.

Incredible. To do it for Team GB I'm so proud. What did it feel like when

you completed your dives and you found out that you and your partner,

Jack, were the Olympic champions? It was the biggest relief, even just

finishing the last dive, you know. I knew I had done a good dive. I had

to wait and see how Jack's was. Jack confirmed to me, it was good. How

was yours? I was like, yeah, it's good. We had to wait for the Chinese

scores which felt like a whole lifetime. Then it just was

unphantomable that we won. It was amazing. Is it more motivation. Some

people at home might be aware of your story. A few years ago you were

given terrible news. Remind us. How much motivation did that give you on

the platform? . I've been through a lot. I've had a difficult journey to

get to where I am now. I've been through a lot of rubbish like 5% of

surviving an operation in 2009. My family have been to support me. I

came into this came, was in great form and great shape. I delivered on

the day. How much has the Lottery funding helped you as well? Without

their support you wouldn't be able to do what you do? You have taken

the words out of my mouth. Without the Lottery we couldn't do what we

do. They fund my living costs and everything I need to be an athlete

of this proportion. Massive thanks to them and the Lottery players as

well. You do us all a great deed. It's great to stand here in Rio and

kind of fly the flag. Chris you have done us all proud. Your job is not

done in Rio. You will be here later in the programme. Kate, back to you.

Thanks, brilliant stuff. You can find more about

the Lottery-funded athletes that you support out at the Rio Olympics

by going online Let's release those rollover balls.

There are more chances to become a millionaire. Here's tonight's Lotto

jackpot. It's an estimated ?16.1 million. We are using Merlin and set

of balls three. More than ?11 million in prizes has been won on

this game and the Millionaire Raffle this last week. Congratulations to

you if you were a winner. Kate. Thanks, Alan. Over to Chris who will

push that button. We wouldn't have come to Rio without a button to get

this started. Chris is standing by ready to do this. Are you ready? I

think I am. Team GB Gold medallist, in your own time. Good luck to the

players. Millionaire's row this Saturday

night looks like this in ascending order:

Now could be you a lucky winner in tonight's Ken Livingstone

millionaire Ralph. Don't forget to check your tickets

for the further prizes of ?20,000 in Full results will be available

later via the Red Button or by visiting bbc.co.uk/lottery

and following the links. Next week you'll find us

on BBC Two again at 10.10pm. You're coming across as, frankly,

ridiculous. I'm flabbergasted by that.

Will they get burnt... You have done an appalling job of

selling them online. Erm...
