left with just one. Your secret fortune tonight is �100,000!

Tonight, Zoe and Ronnie are trying to hold on to that �100,000, as

Hello and welcome to the National Lottery: Secret Fortune with your

What a wonderful welcome, thank you very much. Welcome to Secret

Fortune. We have two players faced with 24 envelopes, and they are

looking for the one that will be their secret fortune. It could be

anything up to �100,000! It is here, and it is waiting to be won by

tonight's contestants, Zoe and How you doing, Ronnie? How are you

doing? The relationship here is... Brother-sister. Where did you grow

up? We grow up in Stratford in east London. When you came in, I said

from Edinburgh and from London, so what is going on? I met my wife on

a stag weekend in Edinburgh. that right? Yes, and before we knew

it, I was living up here, so it has been a roller-coaster, it has been

great. You both have families now? We have both got children, so we

see each other at Christmas. One year we got to Edinburgh, another

year they come down to Essex, so that our kids know each other.

guessing that it can only be every now and again. Yeah, the kids are

all at an age where they count as full flights, so for us to come

down and go up, it costs about �500 each. I get the feeling that the

motivation for coming on is to give you the finances to do more stuff

together. Definitely. All right, but you know already that you're

going to be winning some money, how much is the question! Your secret

fortune is sitting in one of these envelopes. Each envelope contains

Let's take a look at the money, shall we? Let's talk about what you

would spend it on. If you go home with �100, what happens? Well, it

is my daughter's 10th birthday, and we decided we wanted to go to

London to see the sights, so I would put it towards that. I would

let her have her 10th birthday in London. I would drive my husband

along to a date night, just have some time, just me and Tim, no

children, nobody else. We probably would not have a lot to say, but we

will go with the flow, yeah! �5,000, 2,500 each. I am taking driving

lessons at the moment, so it would enable me to have some more lessons,

possibly get a small car, just to get me from A to B. It would change

my life. You know, immensely. me, I would try to get the kids to

Euro Disney for a family trip and probably go and see my sister and

stuff, to travelling like that. Let's talk about �50,000, �25,000

each. My mum, it is their 60th, and we would love to take my mum to Las

Vegas, to celebrate her birthday, you know. All the family together,

a big party in Vegas. She is important to you, obviously. She is

very important, she has done a great job raising us. We think the

world of her. Right, each of these envelopes contains one of those

amounts, placed at random, numbered from one to 24. There they are,

let's seal all of these away. The next time you see one of these is

when you bring one back into play. Digital viewers can play on at home,

just press the rest but now. Good luck. The first thing you need to

do is choose four envelopes. OK, I shall have number 16 and number

nine, please. And I will have number one and number 18, please.

Number 18... Let's see those on the board. Remember, inside each

envelope is one of those cash amounts. What you have got to do is

simple but crucial, keep the envelope that contains the most

Good, still good. You have just got to try and think of the graphics

that were involved in the game, because that will tell you how

Man? Thank you very much. You are saying Pac Man, 21. Your secret

Welcome back, classic Nick, keeping us hanging on! Now, it is less than

two weeks until the start of the Olympics, very exciting, and we

have some met some truly inspiring athletes who are hoping to make

their mark on the gains thanks in no small way to the funding they

have received from National Lottery players. You have helped nine out

of the 10 athletes competing at the Olympic Games. That is an

impressive figure, isn't it? Tonight, Danny Talbot, a sprinter

who is part of the men's relay I started training properly when I

was about 14, 15. I first heard about the Olympics being in London

in 2005, when one of my schoolmates said to me, you could be there. I

did not really think too much of it. So too have the opportunity to go

to the Games is fantastic at 21, I can use this experience now for

future Olympics. More recently, at the beginning of this season, I got

put on to the World Class Performance Programme, which meant

that I had even more financial help. I think the only way you can become

a world-class athlete is if it is all you do. For me, the help from

the lottery has meant that I can improve my talent that I have asked

just be able to work hard and focus purely on becoming the best in the

world. It is definitely a special feeling, representing Great Britain,

just putting on the kit is fantastic. I was fortunate to go to

the European championships this year and win a medal in my first

senior championships. I was able to stand on the podium and what the

flag, in the air, just knowing that you have run as hard as you can,

given as much effort to represent your country is fantastic. I always

take a deep breath in, when the gun goes, just sprint as hard as you

can, reaction is a natural thing. I run at around 22 or 23 mph, but

merely in spending the harder you try, the slower you go. Hopefully

you can just get the job done. You never know, relays are

unpredictable, you have got to try and execute every part of the race

We are ranked 4th in the world in relay, so we are very close to

My name is Danny Talbot, and with your help I can become the Olympic

Congratulations to Danny, who was running today at the London Grand

Prix, and he ran the 200 metres in his fastest time this season, he

has been close to your personal bests, Alan! He looks better in

that outfit, though. If you missed last week's film, you can catch it

online, follow the lines. That was the last of our athlete profiles,

but in the run-up to the Paralympics, we will focus on the

Paralympic athletes, so look out for them. Now it is time for the

main event, grab your numbers, here Alan, tell us how much is in the

jackpot tonight. I have been in touch with the number crunchers,
