How to play Lotto

Descriptor: First we see a computer generated image of the National Lottery logo, with the logos for various National Lottery games orbiting it. The Lotto logo then comes to the front of the screen, with a caption in red, which reads, "Let's look at how to play Lotto."

Narrator: there are many games in the National Lottery family creating around 4 million winners a week. Every time you play you're adding to the billions of pounds already raised for good causes throughout the UK.

Narrator: lets look at how to play lotto.

Descriptor: We now see a computer generated image on the screen, which shows the top prize value of the game, together with the days on which you can play it and the cost of the game.

Narrator: this is the big one the draw takes place, every Wednesday and Saturday, and a pound gives you a chance of winning the jackpot.

Descriptor: We now pull out from a rack of magazines in a shop, to the National Lottery play station that holds the play slips, before moving on to the National Lottery website, where we see how we can play online.

Narrator: in shops you can find your play slip at the play station, or if you're registered to play online it's just as easy.

Descriptor: We now see a close up of a Lotto play slip, which shows you how to mark it correctly, before once again showing the National Lottery website.

Narrator: put a line through any six numbers, or make lucky dip if you want your numbers to be chosen at random. You can play up to seven lines per play slip. You can also opt to play for up to eight weeks. On Wednesdays, Saturdays or both. If you're on line just submit your form we'll do the rest.

Descriptor: We now see a Lotto ticket, before we see an close up of the balls spinning in the Lottery machine, with a computer generated image of the odds of winning and the maximum amount that you can win, together with details of rollovers.

Narrator: if you're in a shop hand the play slip to the retailer who'll give you you're completed lotto ticket. Six main numbers and a bonus number are drawn and the results could make you a millionaire. You're in with a one in 54 chance of winning something. Three numbers wins £10 and the more numbers you match the more money you win all the way up to that fabulous jackpot. And don't forget the bonus ball fact fans. If you only matched five main numbers but you get that bonus number as well you can still win big. And if no one wins the next draw is a rollover, then a double rollover, and if no one wins a third time, a triple rollover, creating even bigger prizes.

Descriptor: We now see the exterior of a shop, as a computer generated image of the National Lottery logo falls to the ground, and we see the limits that can be paid directly from National Lottery vendors. We then see a leaflet entitled, "How to play," and for the final time, flash to the National Lottery website.

Narrator: you can claim up to a hundred pounds at any National Lottery retailer, and some can pay up to £500 for how to claim bigger prizes and more information check the players guide in store. And if you played on line you'll be notified automatically if you win.

Descriptor: Finally, we see the Lotto logo fly from the front of the "How to play" leaflet to the middle of the screen, which then spins to reveal the National Lottery logo.

Narrator: lotto from the National Lottery.
