Annie O'Shea: Have we won?
Jackie O'Shea: No, but it got my apple tart brought in now didn't it.

Annie O'Shea: I have a chicken leg left over.
Jackie O'Shea: I'm full Annie. Put it in the fridge for dinner tomorrow.
Annie O'Shea: Jackie. I counted those joints precisely. If there's a leg left over, it means someone was missing.
Jackie O'Shea: Winner smells a rat? Where's my list? Ned Devine. Ned Devine was missing.
Michael O'Sullivan: (pretending to be Ned Devine) A big win is it?
Jim Kelly: Ned, you've won six million eight hundred and ninety four thousand, six hundred and twenty pounds. How does that make you feel? Take your time now, there's no rush. It's a great shock to the system I know. Just give yourself a moment to get used to the idea. So what do you think, Ned? Well it was a roll over week. The jackpot wasn't won last week, so they carried it over to this week, and you were the only winner. Were you aware of that, Ned?
Michael O'Sullivan: No.
Maureen: Hello. National Lotto. Maureen speaking. How may I help you?
Jackie O'Shea: Yes, Maureen, Hello. I wanted to talk to someone about a claim that I'll be making.
Michael O'Sullivan: He survived all those storms to be washed away by a few plastic lottery balls.
Annie O'Shea: But he's never told a lie in his life.
Jackie O'Shea: Well, he's making up for it now.
Narrator: Saturday evening, and the universe is much the same as at any other point in the history of the world. The planets and stars orbit and spin, and do everything that is expected of them. On earth, as the sun sets, millions prepare for a weekly event that is much less predictable. In sixty three countries around the world, dozens of lottery machines spin hundreds of lottery balls. It takes seconds for the winning numbers to be selected... seconds for the losers to realize they've lost. But for the winners, it is an event that will undoubtedly change their lives forever... lucky sods!
Jim Kelly: I'll just have to come back to the village and make some enquiries. To make sure that you are Ned Devine.
