Scenario One
Welcome to the Lottery - live from Camelot,
Be ready with paper - magic numbers to jot.
Here with me bring an aura of good fortune,
Si and Flo, winners of four million last June.
"We wish you could all share the luck that we found,
But then all you'd win would be your original one pound."
"On that day special numbers made our dreams come true,
Our lives were transformed - multicoloured from blue."
"He's so nice to me now, no put-downs, no bile,"
"(Treated you badly eh?) Gritted teeth, face forward, smile."
"The first is 11, our house number, how lucky,"
(Voice over) The 65th luckiest digit. Not a push over, but plucky.
Scenario Two
They promoted him just six months before he retired in January,
He's worked hard at his career, I think he deserves every penny.
My pension is small, his, three times what I earned,
As a primary school teacher, 'marry well' - is what I learnt.
With the lump sum we bought ourselves an antique narrow boat,
It's our passion - private world. All we need to keep us afloat.
Scenario Three
Welcome to the restaurant at the end of the universe,
Up to now all you've done has been to rehearse,
What have you to show for the life that you've led?
It's your actions that count not just what you said.
We start with the money and the luck that you've had,
Everything spent on yourselves is worth nought - not a tad.
For value is not what if might seem at first,
The last end up best and the Best shall be worst.
