:04:04. > :04:14.
:04:14. > :04:18.films - World number 1 Trampolinist Everton's I was a child I wanted to
:04:18. > :04:22.be the best in the world. I wanted to know that my hard work had paid
:04:22. > :04:25.off and I was at the top of the rankings. Working in a bank Nigel
:04:25. > :04:31.five full-time was proving impossible to get the training that
:04:31. > :04:34.I needed to do. -- 9-5. I knew I had to change something. I started
:04:34. > :04:38.getting results a couple of years ago, moving through the world
:04:38. > :04:43.rankings into top 10 and top 15, which enabled me to get National
:04:43. > :04:46.Lottery funding. It is enabling my coach to commit more to what we are
:04:46. > :04:50.doing with the programme and it has transformed my life and
:04:50. > :04:53.trampolining and it means I am now ranked No. 1 in the world. To me it
:04:53. > :04:56.is a massive thank you to everyone out there that plays the National
:04:56. > :05:01.Lottery. I do not think they realise how much of an impact they
:05:01. > :05:05.have one people's lives like mine. The most important thing about
:05:05. > :05:09.trampolining is being mentally ready. It is being 100% focused on
:05:09. > :05:14.what you are doing. Being nervous of the trampoline is fine but when
:05:14. > :05:17.you are on the trampoline you have got to switch them off. At the
:05:18. > :05:23.lowest point I am exposed up to nine G force. The average human
:05:23. > :05:27.would faint at five g force, but within a fraction of a second I am
:05:27. > :05:31.airborne. When I reach the very top of my flight, that split-second
:05:31. > :05:36.before I fall, I experienced total weight listeners. The biggest
:05:36. > :05:40.hurdle to overcome? Living up to my No. 1 ranking. I have got a lot to
:05:40. > :05:49.do but I am ready. My name is Kat Driscoll and with your help I can
:05:49. > :05:53.become an Olympic champion. Wow. Totally incredible. The speed
:05:53. > :05:56.and height she travels are just amazing. We're right behind you for
:05:56. > :06:02.London 2012, Kat, and wish you the best of luck. Next week, Olympic
:06:02. > :06:08.Hockey squad player Laura Bartlett. Now that's a tough game. I used to
:06:08. > :06:11.play hockey, but not to that level. I always had scabs on my knees! OK,
:06:11. > :06:20.it's time for tonight's main event. So get those numbers where you can
:06:20. > :06:23.see them because we are ready for much they're playing for tonight.
:06:23. > :06:30.It would be my pleasure. Tonight's jackpot is an estimated �4.1
:06:30. > :06:34.million. I'm sure you can think of plenty of things to do with that
:06:34. > :06:38.huge chunk of money. OK, let's see if this is your weekend for a big
:06:38. > :06:41.windfall. Release those weekend balls. Two lucky tickets shared the
:06:41. > :06:44.jackpot on Wednesday night bagging over �1.2 million each. And five
:06:44. > :06:54.tickets matched five main numbers and the bonus to take home �150,000
:06:54. > :07:33.
