story for you. On Saturday, one very lucky ticket holder scooped an | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
amazing early Christmas present worth over �4.6 million by matching | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
all six main numbers. Very nice indeed. But, did you know, if they | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
were to take their winnings in pound coins and place them on top | :03:31. | :03:37. | |
of each other, it would take quite a while, it would be over 14 | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
kilometres high? Due know that? Nearly twice the height of Everest. | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
How do you know things? I spent ages today practising that. | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
Interesting, isn't it. Right, the mashes are primed. And Julie's -- | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
machines are primed and Julie's gloves are on. That means it's time | :03:56. | :04:06. | |

dinners. Is that including everything, sprouts, mince pies? | :04:24. | :04:30. | |
