Synopsis
A one-off, hour-long game show in which the winner got to press the button to start the first ever UK National Lottery draw.
The title was retained for subsequent lottery shows (hosted, starting the following week, by Anthea Turner), but the game show format only appeared in the first one.
Theme music
