30/11/2011 The National Lottery: Wednesday Night Draws

Welcome to Lottery HQ, we're live with your mid-week draws and here's

your host, Mr Scott Mills. Thank you Alan, good evening. In

the next few minutes we'll be bringing you Thunderball, the Lotto

draw plus, Sir Steve Redgrave will be right here telling you how you

can become a sporting hero in your local community. We'd better get

cracking so grab those tickets and Alan, are you ready?

I am Scott. Then please, take it away.

OK, get those machines turning Please, Julie. Excalibur and set of

balls number four. Our draw team tonight is independent adjudicator,

Sian Fleet-Milne, and draw master, Julie Morrissey. On Saturday over

249,000 tickets won a prize. Are you moments away from a

These are the numbers in ascending Thank you, Alan we'll need you

again shortly for Lotto. OK, I'll be waiting. Winning a

medal at an Olympic Games is something most of us can only dream

of. To win five gold's in consecutive Olympics is something

most Olympians can only dream of, yet our next guest has achieved

just that- Sir Steve Redgrave. Not the first time you have been here?

I have done it a couple of times. Now, you've recently launched a

Lottery-funded initiative called 'Sport Makers' what is it?

Sport Makers, is a programme for everyone who'd like to make sport

happen for their friends, neighbours or colleagues. You could

be kicking a ball round a playing field, it does not have to be

structured. We are looking for 40,000 people around the country

which will give a human legacy to London 2012. You don't need medals

to become a sporting hero. By helping people you know to get

involved in sport you'll be doing something amazing for your friends

and local community as well as having fun yourself. The thing I

want to see more than anything is more people out enjoying what sport

has to offer, but we need your help to make it happen. Can anyone get

involved? Anyone over the age of 16 can become a Sport Maker, you don't

need to be an expert in your chosen sport and you'll develop new skills.

You'll also become part of the London 2012 legacy. And if you want

to get involved or find out more, go to bbc.co.uk/lottery and follow

the links. The Olympics are just a few months away. You've said in the

past you'd happily swap all your medals for a chance to row at

London 2012? To enter the stadium last as part of the home team, when

most of the audience are from the host nation, that is when the

broadcasters get excited and, from that moment onwards, it's all about

you and your country. Nothing is quite the same as competing at your

home Games. Any predictions? Who do you tip for glory? The rowing team

is very strong. But we have Cycling and taekwondo. Some great

opportunities. You may be the bookies' favourite

to light the flame that starts the Olympics, but how would you like to

push the button that starts tonight's draw? That would be good.

Great, then we're ready for the Lotto draw.

Alan, what are we playing for tonight? OK, Alan, let's get the

balls rolling. The estimation is �2.2 million. $$ YELLOW Release

On Saturday one very lucky ticket scooped the jackpot of �4.4 million.

In addition there were 13 other ticket holders who matched five

numbers plus the bonus ball to each scoop over �105,000. Many

congratulations if you were a winner on Saturday. His Merlin

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 61 seconds

ready? Yes he is. OK, Steve, the Jenni Falconer will be here on
