23/05/2012 The National Lottery: Wednesday Night Draws

It's Wednesday, 23rd May. Here with tonight's Lotto double rollover

draw, Mr OJ Borg. Hello and welcome along on this

very exciting evening. As Alan said, in a few minutes

we'll bring you the live Lotto double rollover draw.

Last time I did a double rollover, I fell out the other side of the

bed, so this one promises to be much more exciting.

Also tonight we'll bring you a Thunderball draw with a top prize

of �500,000. No matter how many winners there

are, you don't have to share it with anyone else.

Unless of course you want to. But first, a very quick reminder

that in a couple of weeks it's the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and as part

of the celebrations, the National Lottery funded Big Lunch will be

taking place. Thousands of lunches will be hosted

across the country so there's bound to be one close to where you live.

Head online, follow the links and find out more about it.

Right now though, we're all geared up for Thunderball so get your

numbers up on your screen or in OK. Julie, could you start up our

OK. Julie, could you start up our lifting the Champions League trophy

on Saturday. Congratulations to the 215,000 ticket holders who won a

prize on this game on the same evening and to give you an idea of

numbers, that's like everyone in the stadium winning a prize three

times over. Good luck everyone. That is a wow dress. Which will be

the first to appear before us play this game, Wednesday, Thursday

please. please.

How are you getting on? Have you matched every number so

far? Well done, that's �5,000 you've won.

But don't celebrate just yet because if you also match the

Thunderball, you'll go on to win �500,000 instead.

Even if you haven't matched any numbers yet, you're still in with a

chance of a prize, Ok, we're ready.

This number could make a huge difference to what you win. Here

are tonight's Thunderball numbers again, this time in ascending

In a few moments, that all important Lotto draw with the

double rollover jackpot. But first, the countdown to London

2012 is on and in less than 100 days the Paralympic Games will

begin. Thanks to National Lottery players,

our Paralympic athletes are preparing for what promises to be

our most successful Games ever. In the coming weeks and months

we'll catch up with some of our brightest medal hopefuls and find

out more about them. Here's a sneak peak. We talk to the

guys about the game itself, not about the nerves because you can't

stop nerves. You can look in each player's eyes and know if they are

nervous or not. We try to focus them on the game. That's what it is.

It's the 40 minutes they have to play. That is where their focus

should be. It's no exaggeration to say that

without National Lottery funding, many of our Paralympians simply

could not compete at the highest We'll all be cheering them on. What

are we playing for? An estimated: like that. We had better do this.

Release those very big money balls, please. No jackpot winners at the

weekend. Three ticket holders matched with five numbers and the

bonus to win: Are we ready? certainly are. In that case then,

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds

Partridge will bring you the weekend draws and get you into that

winning spirit with Paloma Faith. So make sure you join them, tickets
