Descriptor: We see an exterior shot of the Millennium Stadium as a cyclist passes the camera on a sunny day. We then zoom into a sign on the exterior of the building that reads "Millennium Stadium", and below it in Welsh, "Stadiwm Y Mileniwym". Next we see a shot of the winning syndicate having their photo taken inside the stadium. They are holding an oversized cheque made out to "The Valley Boys Syndicate" for £4,091,609. We then see the winners talking at a press conference inside the building.

Man1: I got up Sunday morning, checked the tickets, didn’t believe we had six. Then I drove to Mike's house, banged on his door to get him up. It’s better than amazing.

Man2: Thought the mortgage wasn’t going to get paid at one point sort of thing, innit, you know, it's a struggle.

Interviewer: Couldn’t come at a better time.

Descriptor: We now see various shots and close-ups of the winners holding the oversized National Lottery cheque on the football pitch, all dressed in football shirts. There are occasional flashes back to the press conference.

Interviewer: How long have you been playing in the Lottery?

Man2: It's us four since 2003.

Man1: I pick a random six numbers on a, I do a Lucky Dip for the boys, and it was the Lucky Dip that come up.

Man3: I think the main thing, my children are sorted for life now, and er, got a standard of living, and er...

Man2: No more worries, basically.

Man3: No more worries.

Descriptor: The winners spray champagne in celebration, followed by close-ups of individual speakers. Also includes a pan across stadium seats to winners holding the oversized National Lottery cheque in the stands.

Man3: I'm an HGV driver at the moment, but I did tell him I will not, try not to let him down, but obviously things are going to change.

Man1: 2008 I was made redundant after, like, 17 years. I was on the dole then for about 3 months, working on the refuge, and other kind of tasks, and that's where I was until Monday morning, this week.

Descriptor: Two of the winners chink champagne glasses and have a bit of a giggle, followed by a close-up of one of the winners speaking.

Man3: It's hard to explain, it's like a happy shock. It's so surreal, we've always thought of winning the lottery and, we never thought it'd ever happen.

Descriptor: We now see three of the winners again answering questions against a stadium backdrop. This is followed by a close-up of individual speakers as they talk about how they'll spend the money, including a shot of one of the boxes at the stadium.

Interviewer: Anything special planned at all?

Man4: Yeah, we'll go to World Cup now, hopefully now in September.

Man3: Well I'll spoil my girls um, maybe change my car, maybe get a box in here, if the price is right.

Descriptor: Pan back to shot of winners answering question to female journalist.

Woman: Gerwyn, tell us, how does it feel to be a multi millionaire?

Man3: Marvellous.

Man1: Words can't explain it.

Descriptor: Pan across winners holding oversized National Lottery cheque, followed by close-ups of individual speakers.

Man: No more bills for me.

Man3: It's so surreal and out of this world.

Man2: It just means, sorted for life.

Descriptor: Pan out to winners holding oversized National Lottery cheque above their heads against stadium backdrop which fades to grey.
