We then see We then see Sheila Davidson standing next to her husband Duncan, who is the bagpiper, as he plays. She is holding an oversized cheque. We then see Sheila and her husband Duncan at a press conference. As she speaks, we see a photo of Sheila and Duncan holding the cheque above their heads. The cheque shows that they have won £4,520,123.

Sheila Davidson: Well, the night before, I'd been out to a friend's house and we were playing a stupid bingo game and, I kept winning every row, won eight times, and the girls said, "You ought to try the lottery", so that was why I bought the additional tickets on Saturday.

Descriptor: We now see a close-up of a champagne bottle being opened. Duncan Davidson sprays the champagne as Sheila watches. We then return to the press conference.

Sheila Davidson: And we'd been out at night and we came home and I wasn't tired, and I went on to the computer and thought, "I wonder what the lottery numbers are?" My usual ones, I had no numbers as usual. And I checked the, the Lucky Dip ones, and I had them!

Descriptor: We now see a close-up of Sheila and Duncan Davidson holding champagne glasses bearing the National Lottery logo, while holding the cheque. We then return to the press conference.

Sheila Davidson: And I thought there was something wrong, and I thought, "This computer's nae right!" So I shut it off, and I put it on again, and they were still the same! And I clicked on to the winner and it said, "one number", And I couldn't believe it.

Descriptor: We now see a shot of a photographer arranging Sheila and Duncan Davidson for a photo with a cheque, and a bagpiper plays in the background. The shot is thorough a set of bagpipes, which can be seen in close-up, framing the couple. We then see a shot of Sheila with her fingers in her ear, as Duncan plays the bagpipes. We then return to the press conference.

Sheila Davidson: So then, checked again, and yeah, and I thought, "well, we must tell the kids", and tried phoning the one that stays with us but no answer, and she'd been out with us, so we thought, "well, where are they?" So we went in search of them and found them at a party and, told them to come home with us. And I think they were a bit annoyed to come away from the party! [The group laughs.]

Descriptor: Finally, we see a shot of Sheila and Duncan Davidson with the cheque and two bagpipers, followed by a shot of Sheila and Duncan with champagne glasses bearing the National Lottery logo.
