It's 10:36pm on the 31st August, and we're live from Lottery HQ with

:00:07.:00:16.

a Lotto Rollover and your Wednesday night host, OJ Borg. Thanks Alan,

:00:16.:00:19.

hello everyone and welcome to the show. As well as an exciting Lotto

:00:19.:00:21.

Rollover we will also be celebrating the countdown to the

:00:21.:00:25.

London 2012 Paralympic games, which are just a year away. To mark this

:00:25.:00:27.

occasion, I have been out training with Sophie Christiansen from the

:00:27.:00:31.

GB paralympic dressage team and you can see how I got on shortly. But

:00:31.:00:34.

before you see me making my televisual debut on horseback, it's

:00:34.:00:38.

time for our first live draw of the night and a chance for you to win a

:00:38.:00:48.
:00:48.:00:57.

fantastic �500,000 with Thunderball. OK, start the machines please,

:00:57.:01:06.

Julie. Our draw team tonight is adjudicator Sian Fleet-Milne and

:01:06.:01:16.
:01:16.:01:16.

draw master Julie Morrissey. On Saturday, over 256,000 tickets won

:01:16.:01:26.

a prize. Congratulations if one of those lucky tickets belonged to you.

:01:26.:01:36.
:01:36.:02:07.

I hope this is the number you need to win you that �500,000 top prize.

:02:07.:02:17.
:02:17.:02:34.

So as I mentioned earlier, this week marks one year to go to the

:02:34.:02:36.

start of the London 2012 Paralympics, and to celebrate, I've

:02:36.:02:46.

taken on another Olympic Challenge. London, home of the 2012 Olympic

:02:46.:02:50.

and Paralympic Games. In one year's time, all of these venues will be

:02:50.:02:52.

teeming with spectators and athletes competing in the biggest

:02:52.:02:57.

sporting event in the world. I have travelled a distance of 33 miles to

:02:57.:03:02.

Buckinghamshire to visit one of Team GB's dressage athletes. Sophie

:03:02.:03:06.

Christiansen has been riding since she was six. She is currently

:03:06.:03:12.

Olympic and European champion. How does your disability affect you?

:03:13.:03:17.

have got so oblique -- cerebral palsy, which means I do not have

:03:17.:03:25.

full control over any of my limbs, which means that I am in the most

:03:25.:03:28.

disabled category. And what do you say to other people watching this

:03:28.:03:33.

right now, disabled people are thinking of competing? -- who are

:03:33.:03:39.

thinking. I would say go for it. It has changed my life. The smell of

:03:39.:03:44.

manure is in the air. I am ready to have a go of this. You will have to

:03:44.:03:50.

get changed first. Time to saddle up for a lesson with the coach.

:03:50.:03:55.

What are we doing here? Pick up the reins, the bits you Steer West. Put

:03:55.:04:05.

your hand on the rain. -- skier with. Nudge it. How has lottery

:04:05.:04:13.

funding help you? It has enabled us to be more professional and turn

:04:13.:04:17.

our good marks into great marques. I think now is time for a challenge.

:04:17.:04:24.

I have just the thing. First in the arena is Sophie Christiansen on her

:04:24.:04:34.
:04:34.:04:34.

horse, Lambrusco. A lovely start. Wonderful pace and rhythm.

:04:34.:04:39.

Excellent control. Lambrusco is looking relaxed. That is a lovely

:04:39.:04:44.

stop. And now it is time to see what the judges have scored Sophie

:04:44.:04:53.

Christiansen. 8. 7. High-scoring. Four, and you were lucky to get

:04:53.:05:00.

that. Oh Jamie to near-perfect performance to win. A bit of a

:05:00.:05:07.

bumpy start. -- OJ Borg needs a near-perfect performance. I would

:05:07.:05:11.

not expect anything less from OJ Borg. The judges are giving nothing

:05:12.:05:19.

away. A strong salute, it's got to be worth an extra point. He looks

:05:19.:05:25.

nervous. Eight. Seven. Anything higher than a four will give the

:05:25.:05:35.

win to OJ Borg. Two! Better luck next time. Come on, Lamborghini,

:05:35.:05:39.

we're going to the pub. The horse did not buy his round at

:05:40.:05:44.

the pub. I am very upset about that. And if you want to see some behind

:05:44.:05:47.

:05:47.:05:50.

:06:00.:06:01.

We are, OJ. Great, then let's do it. Alan, tell us, what the good people

:06:01.:06:10.

:06:13.:06:23.
:06:23.:06:25.

it's over to you. Release those big money balls. On Saturday night over

:06:27.:06:30.

main numbers plus the bonus ball winning over �174,000 each but no

:06:30.:06:34.
