The Thompsons' wedding anniversary win

Descriptor: First we see various shots of Lyme Regis, before we see Elaine Thompson and her husband Derek, surrounded by balloons, with champagne flutes in their hands, as they have their photos taken.

Narrator: This is Lyme Regis, a picturesque seaside town on the Dorset coast, home of lottery winner, Elaine Thompson. Originally from the north east, Elaine and husband Derek won two point seven million pounds.

Descriptor: We now meet Elaine Thompson, who won £2,704,666, on the lottery, sitting on a bench in her garden. As she tells us the story of the night when she won, we see various shots of the exterior and interior of her house.

Elaine: Derek and I won the lottery in December the 9th, 1995, on our seventeenth wedding anniversary. The children and I were actually sitting in the lounge on the night of the lottery and the numbers came up on the screen. And I said to the children I think we might have won a tenner. And they brought the tickets in and the very first line I checked, matched the TV. And I kept saying to the kids, read the numbers out again, what's the date, go and check the date. And Karen kept saying to me, mum you know the date, you got married on this date. I says but just remind me it's the 9th of December and um, she said what's the matter and I says well we've got all six numbers, and she says well what does that mean have we won more than ten pound. I says yes darling we've won, we've won more than ten pound.

Descriptor: We now see Elaine playing with her dog in the garden, before once again seeing her sitting on the bench in her garden.

Elaine: When we won I mean you, everything goes through your mind. Will the kids get bullied at school, will I have to put them into private schools, what can I do, what do I buy them, can I go over the top you know, what do I buy.

Descriptor: Once again we see various shots of Lyme Regis, including a couple in a beach hut, and some children sitting on the promenade.

Narrator: What would Elaine buy, a big house, a boat, maybe some expensive jewellery?

Descriptor: Once again we see Elaine in her garden, who describes the moment she realised she could afford to buy what she wanted.

Elaine: I had seen a jumper and I'm stood there thinking what colour will I get, then I thought you silly fool you've just the lottery, you can have them all, so I bought them all. And then I threw the receipt away so Derek couldn't make me take them back. It was wonderful.

Descriptor: We now see an exterior shot of the building that houses the hot tub, before Elaine walks to the door and shows us what's inside. We then see a wide shot of the hot tub, before going back to Elaine, who explains how the hot tub was put into place. As she speaks, we see a photo of a crane lifting the hot tub over the house.

Elaine: Actually this is one of my slightly extravagant purchases, it's better than the garage upstairs, I bought myself a hot tub. When we got this, we had to have it craned over the top of the house cos what the guy didn't realise was, it's a three story house and it had to come down three stories, and we had to close the street for the day. And the guy next door was taking photographs cos he's, it had to come over his house, not ours, and over the trees and back into the garden, so er, there was a few grey hairs that day, but we got it in eventually.

Descriptor: Once again we see Elaine on the bench in her garden. She explains how much the children and her husband mean to her.

When I had the children years ago, I told Derek that the children would come first in my life. The bairns have to come first in everything because they're defenceless. And when they left home it's his time, so he's number one on the list, mind I'll still not be number one on his list, Newcastle still come first.

Descriptor: Once again we see Elaine and Derek surrounded by balloons, with champagne flutes in their hands, having their photos taken. We then zoom in on framed photos of Derek's racehorse.

Elaine: There was one thing that Derek really, really wanted and we thought about it, and thought no, and then we thought we can afford it, so we bought a racehorse. And even that wasn't really super expensive, but it was wonderful.

Descriptor: Once again we meet Elaine, who describes what her most extravagant purchases have been. As she speaks, we see a shot from the balcony of her house, before we see various exterior and interior shots of the restaurant that they own.

Elaine: Our most extravagant purchase since we've won, I would say would be the house, and the restaurant. We took the restaurant as an investment and to keep me busy cos it got a bit manic in the house when I was washing curtains twice a week and so they kept saying it's time to go back to work mum, you can't stay in the house all day. It's one of the best things we ever did cos I love the restaurant. I've got fifty four staff and it's like a big family. I didn't realise I'd have to do about eighty hours a week, but I love it.

Descriptor: For the last time, we see Elaine sitting on a deckchair, describing what they're going to do when they retire.

Elaine: One of our biggest dreams is to um, when we retire we're gonna hire a massive Winnebago in the States and we're gonna drive, either east to west, west to east, north, south, who cares, but we're gonna drive, without a mobile phone, so the kids can't find us.

Descriptor: Finally, we pan across from the restaurant, to the sea view, before going back to Elaine sitting in her garden, who explains what's important about winning.

Elaine: Your whole life is gonna change but you don't have to, you know, you have to be grounded and stay the person you are, and then it will be brilliant.
