Descriptor: Music plays whilst we see a view of a country house from a hole on a golf course. This moves to the back view of the country manor house and then on to a girl smiling and holding a large Lotto cheque. The camera zooms in to a close up of the cheque showing an amount of £1,117.779 and then pans up to the girls smiling face. The shot changes to that of the press photographers taking photos. The camera then focuses on the girl's hands and arms holding an exploding bottle of champagne. She shakes the champagne in front of her. We now see close ups of the press photographers taking shots moving to the girl sipping a glass of champagne and saying ‘Cheers'. Close up of The National Lottery glass of champagne.

Descriptor: The scene changes and now we see the girl sitting in front of a backdrop of The National Lottery logo and behind an assortment of microphones.

Girl: Didn't really sink in at first, I just thought wow I've just won some money. And then when I found out I rang my family and they was all crying down the phone to me saying we're so proud of you. And then I just thought ooh what could I buy? I bought my lottery tickets and I wrote down what the numbers were and as I were checking my tickets I thought I had 4 numbers. And I go on holiday on Friday so I went in to my dad's room and I said how much do you get for 4 numbers? And he said it should be about £70. And I said ooh that'll buy me a few drinks on holiday. And then as I walked out of his room I realised I had 5 numbers and at this point my dad, my dad jumped out of bed and said that'd be about £2,000. So we came downstairs to check how much it was and then he said to me I think you need to sit down again and check your numbers cos you've got 6. And then I just thought ooh that'll be £100,000, I didn't realise it'd be a million.

Descriptor: While girl is talking a lot of camera flashes go off.

Girl: Oh it'll change my life a lot. It'll, me, it'll never be the same again so it means an awful lot. Like me and our family like with the recession we haven't had that much money, we've just been like every, any other family just getting by with my dad's wages and I work full time, so just got by on my wage. And then now I don't have to think ooh I've got to go and work every single day now for some money. I've got, I don't have to worry about it anymore.

Descriptor: Large camera flash on girl's smiling face.

Man: So what are your plans?

Girl: Um, buy a house um, and look at property to rent out to like help my family out. My sister's just lost her job so I can help my sister out while she's looking for another job. And just support my family. Go on some holidays.
